First of all, I don't see a time frame, i.e. from when to now.

Beyond (much beyond) that, an increase in ratings of, for example, 1111% for CBS would mean they had an increase of viewers from around 100,000 to 1.1 million. I don't see people changing their viewing habits so dramatically, especially with well-established networks that have been around forever.

Did I get this wrong?

Thanks!
