The latest evening news ratings are in, and the summer started hot for ABC World News Tonight with David Muir, the only show to see a rise in total viewers and the key Adults 25-54 demographic.
It should be noted that the Fourth of July holiday led to scheduling shifts across all three major networks for the week of June 29; the ratings data is therefore based on different days. ABC News’ average is based on the Monday and Tuesday broadcasts; CBS News’ is based on Monday to Wednesday; and NBC News’ is based on Monday to Thursday.
In addition, NBC Nightly News‘ regular host, Tom Llamas, was off last week and replaced by Haillie Jackson.
According to AdWeek, citing national live+same-day big data plus program ratings from Nielsen, ABC World News Tonight averaged 8.128 million total viewers and 964,000 demo viewers for the week of June 29. This was up 8 percent in total viewers and up 1 percent in the key demo compared to the week before.
Compared to the same period in 2025, World News Tonight was up 13 percent in total viewers but down 3 percent in the demo.
NBC Nightly News ranked second, averaging 6.16 million total viewers and 856,000 demo viewers. This was down 3 percent in total viewers and down 4 percent in the demo compared to the previous week. However, the show was up 12 percent in total viewers and the demo when compared to the same period in 2025.
