Evening News Ratings: Week of May 22

World News Tonight edged NBC Nightly News in the 25-54 demo last week. Also, “only 260,000 Total Viewers separated ABC and NBC, the smallest gap between the two broadcasts since the week of August 22, 2005,” ABC noted. Viewers must have tuned in because of the anchor change announcement at WNT, but NBC still won all five nights. For the week of May 22:

Total viewers: NBC: 7,780,000 / ABC: 7,520,000 / CBS: 7,030,000

25-54 rating: NBC: 2.0/9 / ABC: 2.1/9 / CBS: 1.8/8
