WBC Final Sets TV Viewership Record With 10.78 Million

The World Baseball Classic final between Venezuela and the United States drew 10.78 million viewers on FOX and Fox Deportes, the event’s largest audience on record and peaking at 12.15 million, while the tournament overall averaged 1.29 million per game across Fox Sports networks.

Oscars viewership slides to four-year US low

US Oscars ratings fell about 9% to 17.9 million, a four-year low, despite big-film attention and social reach; audience approval also dipped, though the ceremony remained the season’s top primetime telecast. Conan O’Brien’s hosting drew praise, but the broadcast faced audio glitches and shortened speeches, and the rights will stay on ABC/Hulu for two more years before a 2029 move to YouTube.
