Marianne Gingrich Helps ‘Nightline’ to #1

By Chris Ariens 

After a few weeks of landing in second place in late night, “Nightline” was back on top last week, thanks in part to Brian Ross’s interview with Marianne Gingrich last Thursday.

“Nightline” took home the top spot in three measurements: Total Viewers and two younger demos. The ABC News program was up +9 over the same week last year and the show remains #1 season-to-date.

ABC’s ratings are based on a 25-minute broadcast, while CBS and NBC are based on approximately :50 minutes (prior to the final national commercial break of each program).
