CBS Evening News Falls Below 4 Million Amid Anchor Shakeup

Nielsen data show CBS Evening News averaged 3.83 million viewers (468,000 in 25–54) for the five days ending March 13, dipping below the 4 million mark after Tony Dokoupil’s debut. By contrast, ABC’s World News Tonight led with about 8.48 million and NBC Nightly News had around 6.51 million, underscoring renewed concerns at CBS about its evening-news strategy amid anchor shifts and Daylight Saving Time effects. Dokoupil had earlier posted stronger numbers in his first weeks, but the show’s audience has continued to slide year over year, prompting CBS to reassess its anchor lineup and focus on enterprise vs. breaking-news framing.

Heated Rivalry Hits 9 Million Viewers, but Nielsen Won’t Elevate It

Since its late-November HBO Max premiere, Heated Rivalry averages about 9 million US viewers per episode, a figure HBO says will rise in the coming weeks and has earned a second-season order from HBO Max and Crave. However Nielsen’s streaming rankings do not place the show in the top 10, likely because it’s classified as an acquired series rather than an original, and its limited weekly release with a smaller initial library makes it harder to amass the total viewing time Nielsen uses for rankings.
