Ratings: CMA Awards Dip But Still Dominate Wednesday
In the latest TV ratings, ABC‘s broadcast of the CMA Awards averaged 6.8 million total viewers and a 0.9 demo rating, down a scooch from last year’s numbers but still good enough to lead Wednesday in the demo. (Is Wynonna Judd OK?)
Over on NBC, the latest GOP presidential debate — which a preponderance of you say Nikki Haley “won” — averaged 6.9 mil and a 0.7.
Facing stiffer competition from both ABC and NBC this week….
CBS’ Survivor (4.5 mil/0.7, read recap) was steady, The Amazing Race (2.6 mil/0.4) rose in the demo.
Back from a postseason baseball break, The Masked Singer (3.2 mil/0.4, get latest clues and reveals) and Snake Oil (1.4 mil/0.2) were both down a tick.
The CW’s Sullivan’s Crossing (412K/0.1) dropped a handful of eyeballs, while The Spencer Sisters (327K/0.0) was steady.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless denoted as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives. Steve Harvey is not a judge or lawyer and merely offers an alternative forum of dispute resolution.
[COMMENT REMOVED DUE TO SYSTEM-DETECTED USE OF MULTIPLE USER NAMES]
Dominate feels like an odd word to use for broadcast ratings most of the time. Makes it sound like it more people than it really is
Everything is relative; no one else had nearly as many viewers = dominates. Boom.
Do you think we at the lowest ratings broadcast will go overall?
