If NBC is looking for a sign as to what to do with Brian Williams, maybe they should just look at Friday night's numbers.

Just two days after Williams said he was sorry for lying, ABC's World News Tonight anchored by David Muir beat NBC Nightly News soundly in the ratings.

The Nielsen company said that ABC’s broadcast had 8.46 million viewers Friday, while NBC’s “Nightly News” had just under 8 million. 

It was Williams last newscast before he stepped down.
