CBS This Morning, on the other hand, had its lowest-rated week since re-launch among total viewers and adults 25-54.
Versus the comparable week in 2018, ABC was flat in total viewers, NBC was -2% , while CBS was -4%. In the A25-54 demo, ABC was -4%, NBC -8% and CBS -11% vs. the comparable week last year.
