ABC World News Tonight Opens July Strong as NBC and CBS Slip

ABC World News Tonight was the sole week-over-week gainer among the big three evening newscasts for the week of June 29, helped by a hot July start; NBC Nightly News and CBS Evening News declined, affected by Fourth of July scheduling shifts and anchor substitutions (Tom Llamas off, Haillie Jackson hosting NBC). ABC averaged 8.128 million viewers and 964,000 in the Adults 25-54 demo (up 8% and 1% WoW; up 13% total and down 3% demo YoY). NBC averaged 6.16 million viewers and 856,000 in the demo (down 3%/4% WoW; up 12% YoY). CBS averaged 3.765 million viewers and 501,000 in the demo (down 6%/13% WoW; up 1% total and 8% demo YoY).

CBS Mornings Slumps to Historic June Low Amid Weiss Overhaul Fallout

CBS Mornings is on pace for its worst June ever, with Nielsen showing about 1.7 million total viewers and 275,000 in the 25–54 demo, a drop tied to fallout from Bari Weiss’s overhaul and the Scott Pelley firing; insiders say the decline predates Weiss, though a brief uptick occurred during Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s guest-host stint as CBS searches for a permanent third host.

Paramount+ reported 17 million total viewers for UFC Freedom 250 (US and Latin America) from the White House, a seven-fight card where all bouts ended in KO/TKO and the main event saw Justin Gaethje defeat Ilia Topuria by TKO after Topuria's corner stopped the bout with one round to go; the numbers set a Paramount+ exclusive-live-event record but were vastly below Rubio's billion-viewer forecast, with 15.26 million US and 1.67 million Latin American viewers.
