CBS Sets Record With 17th Straight Season Victory in Total Viewers
CBS will make a little bit of TV history when the 2024-25 season wraps.
The network is set to finish its 17th straight season as the No. 1 broadcaster among all viewers in primetime, a streak that dates back to the 2008-09 season. The 17 consecutive season wins tops the previous mark, also held by CBS, of 16 straight from 1955-70 (when household ratings were the primary measure).

Although there are few weeks left before the official end of the September-to-May TV season, as measured by Nielsen, CBS' lead over its rivals is large enough that the rankings are very unlikely to change. So as it did a year ago and several other times in the recent past, the network is planting its victory flag now.
There's good news across the board, however: Among the big four broadcasters, three have improved their primetime averages from this time last season, and the fourth, ABC, is even with its year-ago numbers. The gains largely come down to networks having a full season's worth of programming: As writers and actors went on strike for better contracts in 2023, most scripted programming was pushed to the first quarter of 2024, resulting in shorter seasons and a hodgepodge of mostly lower-rated shows filling the first half of the 2023-24 season.
Through April 20, CBS is averaging 5.72 million viewers in primetime with all programming, up from 5.59 million a year ago (a gain of about 2 percent). NBC is also up by about 2 percent at 5.1 million viewers. ABC's 4.28 million viewers is virtually even with 4.29 million last year, while Fox is up by 14 percent at 3.83 million — with a record-setting Super Bowl responsible for a good portion of that improvement. (All figures are Nielsen's 'most current' ratings, a combination of seven-day linear figures for most weeks and same-day numbers for the most recent days. Streaming isn't included.)
Stripping out sports, CBS' lead is a little larger. It's averaging 4.99 million viewers in primetime, up 14 percent from the same time last season. NBC places second with 4 million viewers excluding sports, followed by ABC (3.58 million) and Fox (2.16 million).
Tracker is set to repeat as the most watched non-sports series in 2024-25. The drama starring Justin Hartley is the only network entertainment show to average more than 10 million viewers before streaming; it's currently at 10.84 million viewers over seven days, with two episodes remaining in its season. CBS has the top seven and eight of the top 10 non-sports shows in total viewers with Matlock (second), 60 Minutes (third), FBI (fourth), Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage (fifth), Blue Bloods (sixth), NCIS (seventh) and Elsbeth (ninth) joining Tracker. NBC's Chicago Fire (eighth) and Chicago Med (10th) complete the top 10.

Final 2025 Tony Awards winner odds in all 26 categories, including last-minute Best Actress in a Musical flip to Audra McDonald
After five weeks of furious debate since Tony Award nominations were announced, over 1,000 people have made their winner predictions at Gold Derby. New musical Maybe Happy Ending will lead all productions with six victories, while smash comedy Oh, Mary! will win the most trophies of any play with five. Buena Vista Social Club, Sunset Boulevard, and Stranger Things: The First Shadow will all claim multiple prizes, too. The category with the most fluctuation in our odds heading into the Tony ceremony is the highly coveted trophy for Best Actress in a Musical. Six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald had been leading our odds for her performance in Gypsy since the nominations were announced, until Sunset Boulevard's Nicole Scherzinger took the lead for the first time last week. But on Thursday, McDonald pulled ahead again, buoyed by her recent victory at the Drama Desk Awards and various Tony voter surveys noting that she has a narrow advantage, likely due to the Patti LuPone controversy.
