During an otherwise glitz-free year in Hollywood, the Screen Actors Guild had its biggest audience Sunday since moving to cable television in 1998 -- but no one will confuse it with the Oscars.

An estimated 6.1 million people watched the SAG awards on either TNT or TBS, according to Nielsen Media Research. That compares with 5.8 million who watched the awards show last year. During three years that it was televised on NBC, its biggest audience was 12.5 million.

CNN reached a milestone in January with the heightened interest in the presidential campaign. The news network topped Fox News Channel in prime-time among viewers ages 18 to 49 for the first month since November 2001, Nielsen said.

Among the broadcast networks, Fox dominated in prime time the week of Jan. 21-27. "American Idol" led the way, but the lie detector game "The Moment of Truth" was easily the most-watched show that didn't include bad singing auditions.

For the week, network averages were: Fox, 11.7 million viewers (6.9 rating, 11 share); CBS, 9.3 million (6.1, 10); NBC, 8.1 million (5.1, 8); ABC, 6.8 million (4.4, 7); CW, 2.1 million (1.3, 2); My Network, 1.2 million (0.8, 1); ION, 630,000 (0.4, 1).

In the network evening news race: ABC "World News," 9.67 million (6.7, 12); NBC "Nightly News," 9.64 million (6.6, 12); "CBS Evening News," 7.1 million (4.8, 9).
