'Teen Choice Awards' Fox special averages a 3.8 rating in 12-17 viewers Aug 5, 2008 Host Miley Cyrus and oft-honored band the Jonas Brothers, along with a dash of “Gossip Girl,” gave the “Teen Choice Awards” a big bump over last year among viewers 12-17. Fox’s annual awards show averaged a 3.8 in the demo last night, according to Nielsen overnights, up 73 percent from last year’s 2.2 rating. That also marked the biggest showing in four years in 12-17s, since 2004. This year’s show aired three weeks earlier than last year, in order to avoid the Olympics and political conventions. Cyrus hosted the show, and the Jonas Brothers and CW’s “Gossip” cast were there to accept numerous awards. Those three are the hottest things going in teen entertainment right now, explaining this year’s big bump. The show was also up 10 percent in total viewers, from 4 million to 4.4 million. Otherwise, it was a rather slow night for originals on broadcast. The only network with all repeats, CBS, led the night among 18-49s with a 2.3 average overnight rating and a 7 share. NBC was second at 1.9/6, Univision third at 1.6/5, Fox fourth at 1.5/5, ABC fifth at 1.0/3 and CW sixth at 0.4/1.
