Evening News Ratings: Week of July 20

Here’s welcome news for the broadcasters: week-to-week, the three evening newscasts saw an increase in both Total Viewers and younger viewers — 800,000 more Total Viewers across the three broadcasts than the prior week. NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams was #1 again, in both categories.

ABC coded Wednesday’s broadcast differently since World News only had 87% coverage due to the President’s news conference. The NBC (91%) and CBS (92%) broadcasts are included in the average.

Total Viewers: NBC: 7,640,000 / ABC: 6,780,000 / CBS: 5,460,000

A25-54 viewers: NBC: 2,290,000 / ABC: 1,920,000 / CBS: 1,570,000
