Week of May 26 Evening News Ratings: All 3 Newscasts Struggle For Viewers Post-Memorial Day
The week after the Memorial Day holiday weekend proved slow for the evening newscasts as all three failed to make week-to-week gains in total viewers or the Adults 25-54 demo. NBC Nightly News was the only newscast not to record declines across the board for the week of May 26, as enough of an audience tuned in for Lester Holt's final broadcast as anchor to keep it from falling into the negative zone with total viewers. Holt has something else to smile about: His final week in the anchor's chair brought the demo gap between Nightly News and ABC World News Tonight with David Muir to just 53,000 viewers-its closest finish since January. Note: The weekly averages of ABC News, NBC News, and CBS News are based on four days (Tuesday-Friday). Monday's (05/26/25) broadcasts were retitled due to the Memorial Day holiday. These broadcasts are excluded from the weekly and season averages. According to live-plus-same-day data from Nielsen, WNT averaged 7.042 million total viewers and 884,000 demo viewers for respective drops of -2% and -9% compared to the previous week. Looking at its performance alongside the same week in 2024 (the week beginning May 27), WNT was down -3% in total viewers and -14% in the demo. NBC Nightly News finished second in total viewers and the demo, averaging 5.720 million total viewers and 831,000 demo viewers. Week-to-week, the newscast was flat in the former category and dipped -5% in the latter. Year-to-year, Nightly News was up +2% in total viewers and +4% in the demo-the only newscast with gains relative to the same week in 2024. CBS Evening News drew 3.600 million total viewers and 490,000 A25-54 viewers for declines of -8% in the former category and -12% in the latter. Year-to-year, the newscast declined -15% in total viewers and -24% in the demo. ABC NBC CBS • Total Viewers: 7,042,000 5,720,000 3,600,000 • A25-54: 884,000 831,000 490,000 Source: The Nielsen Company, NTI Total Viewers, Adults 25-54 and Adults 18-49 Live + SD Current Week (w/o 5/26/25), Previous Week (w/o 5/19/25) and Year-Ago Week (w/o 5/27/24). Most Current Data Stream: 2024-2025 Season (9/23/24 – 6/1/25) and 2023-2024 Season (9/25/23 – 6/2/24). Nielsen ratings for ABC, NBC and CBS include additional airings in select markets. Beginning 8/31/20, national ratings also include Out of Home (OOH) viewing. Averages based on regular telecasts.

NOTE: GMA, Today, and CBS Mornings were coded as specials on Monday (05/6/25) due to the Memorial Day holiday. These specialed telecasts are excluded from the weekly and season averages. The morning shows' weekly averages are based on four days (Tuesday-Friday). According to live-plus-same-day data from Nielsen, GMA averaged 2.629 million total viewers and 466,000 A25-54 viewers.
