By Merrill Knox 

Tonight’s “Nightline” will be focused on the tragedy in Colorado. In the ratings department, last week was another good week for ABC News’s late night show.

“Nightline” won the week of July 9 across all three demographics: Total Viewers (3.55 million), A25-54 (1.32 million) and A18-49 (1.01 million). The ABC program has ranked as #1 in all three ratings measurements in 14 of the last 16 weeks and remains the #1 show in late night season-to-date.

Compared to the previous week, “Nightline” improved +3% in Total Viewers, +5% in A25-54 viewers and +4% in A18-49 viewers. Last Friday’s edition drew 3.8 million Total Viewers, making it late night’s most-watched broadcast of the week.
