weekly syndicated ratings

In the week ending Dec. 19, the news that the president would be appearing later for an interview was enough to spike the talker’s ratings 29% from the week before and 80% from the same week last year to a new all-time high 0.9 live-plus-same-day national Nielsen rating.

Only two of the 15 talk shows were able to break into positive ratings territory in the week ending Feb. 6: Rachael Ray, which rose 13% to a season-best 0.9 household rating, and Tamron Hall, which garnered a 14% spike to a new season high 0.8.

Hurricane Ida caused numerous news preemptions and electrical failures in the pre-Labor Day session ending Sept. 5, resulting in few advances over the previous week.
