Evening News Ratings: Week of November 18

By Chris Ariens 

“NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams” has now gone five years — except for a week back in July — as the unbeaten evening newscast among younger viewers.

Compared to the same week last year, which was the Thanksgiving-shortened week, “Nightly” is down -8% in viewers and down -14% in the demo.

ABC’s “World News with Diane Sawyer,” which drew its largest audience in 7 months, was flat year-over-year. “CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley” showed the biggest growth up +7%. But the show continues to lose younger viewers, down -4%.
