'24' ratings hold solid on Monday

24 kept up the pace on the second night of its two-day premiere on Monday, despite increased competition from the Golden Globes telecast.

Episodes three and four of the new season - airing back-to-back on Fox from 8pm - averaged a healthy 15.7 million viewers and a 5.9 rating / 13 share in Adults 18-49. The retention was flawless on Sunday night's opener and up on last year's Monday night premiere, which had 14.9 million.

The Globes, meanwhile, put in a stellar 20 million for NBC between 8pm and 11pm, up 1.2 million on 2006 and its best viewership in three years.

Elsewhere, new episodes of Brit formats Wife Swap and Supernanny fared better than usual for ABC, registering audiences of 8.4 million and 9 million respectively.
