ABC News pointed out that because of the Thanksgiving holiday, the averages for ABC and CBS were based on two days of the week, Monday and Tuesday, but NBC’s was based on three days, Monday, Tuesday and Friday. That’s because of preemptions and other factors during the week, with certain telecasts excluded from the measurement.
