CBS's sudden change

CBS's "reality" show Survivor is asking viewers to vote on the web for their favorite contestant, who will win a $1 million consolation prize. The vote rocketed the CBS website past those of fellow TV networks ABC and NBC, as well as the traditionally higher-rated sites from cable channels, such as CNN, MSNBC and ESPN. Hitwise, the Internet research company, provided the figures and chart, also noting that almost a quarter of the traffic came from search engines, with an equal amount coming from television sites.
