Week of April 8 Ratings: Cable News, Morning Shows, Evening Newscasts

By Brad Pareso 

In-depth coverage of last Monday’s solar eclipse and the breaking news situation in the Middle East over the weekend led to week-to-week gains at the cable networks. CNN made significant gains, especially in the advertiser-coveted demo of adults 25-54. (TVNewser)

ABC News’ Good Morning America and NBC News’ Today continued to share first place as the No. 1 shows in total viewers and adults 25-54, respectively. But the battle for first place in total viewers continues to be intense as only 61,000 viewers separated GMA and Today. (TVNewser)

Extensive coverage of last Monday’s solar eclipse was not enough to stop the main evening newscasts from experiencing week-to-week declines in both total viewers and the adults 25-54 demo. (TVNewser)
