LOS ANGELES – Emmy Awards’ ratings continue to climb from all-time lows as the TV industry hopes to get rid of changes in recent years.
According to Nielsen Company data released on Monday, about 7.42 million viewers watched the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards hosted by Nate Bargatze on CBS. The biggest winners of the night were “The Studio,” “Adolescent,” and “Pitt,” as well as strong support for late-night host Stephen Colbert.
This is the most watched Emmy TV broadcast since 2021, an increase of 8% from the 6.87 million people watching “Shogun” dominate ABC TV broadcasts.
Sunday’s show was more than 70% lower than the 4.3 million time compared to the January 2024 Fox TV broadcast, which was postponed for months due to a strike by Hollywood writers and actors.
The pandemic has brought its own all-time lows. The 2020 Emmys won 6.1 million viewers on ABC without face-to-face viewers and remote nominees. With the help of NFL games, the show rebounded for CBS in the second year with 7.4 million.
But NBC’s 2022 television broadcasts dropped to 5.9 million, and then further declined in early 2024.
Emmys TV broadcasts rotate between four broadcast networks each year.
The last piece of Emmy Awards attracted more than 10 million viewers in 2018, when it attracted 100.2 million. The show had nearly 22 million viewers in 2000, and this level is unlikely to be hit again.
