Ratings: ABC’s Monday Night Football Surges Over Season Opener
ABC’s share of Monday Night Football coverage this week averaged a cool 13 million total viewers and a 3.2 demo rating, up sharply from the preliminary numbers (10 mil/2.1) for last week’s season opener.
This comes on the heels of ABC adding another 10 MNF telecasts to its fall slate, to plug some holes on its strike-struck schedule.

FOX | The Academy of Country Music Honors averaged 1.6 million viewers and a 0.1 demo rating.
THE CW | Son of a Critch (260K) and Children Run Everything (150K) both lost viewers week-to-week (and posted some of their smallest U.S. audiences yet), while Run the Burbs (190K) added a few eyeballs.
CBS | A rerun of The Neighborhood actually delivered the night’s largest non-sports audience: 2.4 million.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless denoted as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives.
