Broadcast networks are the place to be for prime-time competitions -- if little else.

Nine of the 20 most-watched programs on the networks the week of June 16-22 involved some sort of game, from the Boston Celtics clinching the National Basketball Association title to the eager guys seeking a date on "The Bachelorette," according to Nielsen Media Research. ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox are heading into their slowest weeks of the year.

NBC's "America's Got Talent" opened a new season with 12.8 million viewers, by far the most popular prime-time show after the Celtics-Lakers. The talent competition and "Deal or No Deal" enabled NBC to claim the status of No. 1 network for the first time since the first week of the year.

Disney's rollout of the new kids' movie "Camp Rock" was the week's biggest event, shown to a total of 16.1 million people over three networks on three nights.

More people watched "Camp Rock" on its Disney Channel debut Friday (8.9 million) than the 3.7 million who watched on ABC Family Sunday.

For the week, network averages were: NBC, 6.5 million (4.2 rating, 7 share); CBS, 6.4 million (4.3, 8); Fox, 6.1 million (3.8, 7); ABC 5.4 million (3.6, 6); the CW 1.7 million (1.1, 2); My Network TV 1.2 million (0.8, 1); ION 330,000 (0.2, 0).

In the evening news race, NBC's "Nightly News," 8 million (5.5, 12); ABC's "World News," 7 million (5, 11); "CBS Evening News," 5.7 million (3.9, 8).
