Emmys win slow summer week

0

The Emmy Awards telecast on NBC topped the ratings for the past week. But even with two nights of “America’s Got Talent” also in the top four, NBC was still beaten by CBS, with its mostly reruns slate, in the Household ratings and managed only a three-way tie for first in the key 18-49 demo.


In HH CBS scored a 4.2 average rating and 8 share, with NBC at 4.0/7, Fox 3.1/6, ABC 2.7/5, Univision 1.8/3, Ion 0.9/2, CW 0.6/1, Telemundo 0.5/1, TeleFutura 0.3/1 and Azteca America and EstrellaTV 0.1/0.

In 18-49 the three-way tie at 1.8/6 included CBS, NBC and Fox, with Univision at 1.4/5, ABC 1.3/4, Telemundo and Ion 0.4/1, TeleFutura and CW 0.3/1 and EstrellaTV and Azteca America 0.1/0.

Here are the week’s top 20 programs.
