Thanks largely to the U.S. Open golf championship, NBC takes first place on the chart with an 8.27% viewership share. ABC, which has enjoyed multiple weeks at No. 1 due to the NBA Finals, sinks to second place (8.09%) while CBS slips from second to third. Aside from golf, other programs driving NBC watch-time included Today, America’s Got Talent and Today 3rd Hour.
Some additional highlights around the top TV networks:
- Fox News more than doubled its share of minutes watched week-over-week, rising to No. 4, with top programs including Fox & Friends, America Reports with John Roberts & Sandra Smith and America's Newsroom with Bill Hemmer & Dana Perino.
- MSNBC was the only network that maintains its ranking position (No. 7), although watch-time decreased slightly from the previous week.
- USA jumps from No. 13 to No. 8 week-over-week, thanks in part to the U.S. Open.
- There were two week-over-week ranking newcomers, Food Network and Paramount Network. The former was fueled in part by Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, while the latter benefitted from Yellowstone reruns.
