With NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” taking a one-week hiatus for the World Series, Fox’s sports coverage dominated the other networks on Sunday night.

The network averaged a 5.2 adults 18-49 rating and 13 share, according to Nielsen overnights, 33 percent ahead of No. 2 ABC’s 3.9/10.

As a reminder, overnights measure only timeslot data and not actual program data, nor do they account for time zone differences. Thus numbers could shift significantly when final ratings are released tomorrow.

But Fox will have a clear victory, thanks in part to the series coverage but mostly because of a huge football overrun at 7 p.m. for the New York Giants-Pittsburgh Steelers game, which averaged a 7.9 rating.

Game four of the series posted the best numbers yet for the fall classic between the Tampa Bay Rays and Philadelphia Phillies, who lead 3-1. According to time-zone adjusted nationals provided by Fox, the game averaged a 5.1 rating from 8:27 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., matching the same game in 2006.

As a reminder, all ratings are based on live-plus-same-day DVR playback. Seven-day DVR data won’t be available for several weeks. Twenty-eight percent of Nielsen households have DVRs.
