NBC's 'Nightly' Surges Ahead, Tops ABC's 'World' in Evening News Battle
NBC Nightly News has gained ground in the ratings battle against ABC's World News Tonight, winning in the coveted 25-54 demographic for three consecutive weeks. This comes as NBC anchor Lester Holt reported from Israel during the Israel-Hamas war and as ABC's Monday Night Football simulcast on ESPN and ABC pre-empted World News in some areas. While World News Tonight still maintains overall dominance in viewership, the narrowing gap in the 25-54 demographic suggests a potential shift in the evening news landscape.
