Evening News Ratings: Week of June 3

By Chris Ariens 

ABC’s “World News with Diane Sawyer” remains in second place in the evening news ratings, but was the only broadcast to show growth in both total viewers (+4%) and the younger demo (+.5%) compared to the same week last year. And for the first time since September, “World News” won two nights of the week — Monday and Friday.

“Nightly News with Brian Williams” still won the week by more than a half million viewers. The NBC broadcast was flat vs. last year in total viewers and down -6% in the demo. “CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley” was up the most of the three shows: +9% in total viewers and flat in the younger demo.

Due to the NBA Finals Game 1 on Thursday “World News” was removed from the average and based on four days, while “Nightly News” and “Evening News” are based on five days.
