No ratings bump for Norah O’Donnell’s first week as ‘CBS Evening News’ anchor

The numbers for Norah O’Donnell’s historic first week as the anchor of “CBS Evening News” are in, and despite leaving no stone unturned on the promotional front, the new-look newscast didn’t make any progress on the ratings front. According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, the first five broadcasts of “CBS Evening News with Norah O’Donnell” drew 5.24 million viewers, of whom 982,000, or 19 percent, were members of the key adults 25-54 demo. O’Donnell’s first week finished far behind frontrunner “ABC World News Tonight with David Muir” (7.89 million viewers, 1.54 million adults 25-54) and “NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt” (6.88 million viewers, 1.5 million adults 25-54). If O’Donnell’s premiere week deliveries didn’t move the needle—CBS has languished in third place for the better part of two decades, a streak that stretches back to the Dan Rather era—the refurbished broadcast also didn’t lose much ground. Compared to the previous week, the evening newscast came up short by roughly 5,000 total viewers, while 43,000 fewer advertiser-coveted consumers tuned in. From one week to the next, the news demo dipped 4 percent.           O’Donnell’s first week in the anchor chair also was more or less consistent with how the newscast fared throughout the second quarter of 2019. From April 1 through June 28, CBS’s 6:30 p.m. broadcast averaged 5.47 million viewers and 1.05 million adults 25-54. O’Donnell’s inaugural deliveries trail those second quarter stats by just 4 percent... Continue reading at 'Advertising Age'
