"Dokoupil averaged 4.17 million viewers the week following his official Jan. 5 launch, according to Nielsen data obtained by Mediaite. (Dokoupil had jumped on the Evening News desk to host a special edition on Jan. 3, following the capture of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.) Here's the good news for CBS: Dokoupil's ratings were up slightly compared to the 4.05 million viewers that Evening News averaged last year."
"The Peacock network scored its first weekly win in the key 25-54 age demographic in nearly six years, with Tom Llamas and NBC Nightly News pulling in 992,000 viewers in the advertiser-coveted adults 25-54 demographic, compared to 989,000 for David Muir and ABC's World News Tonight. That demo win comes after Llamas replaced veteran anchor Lester Holt midway through 2025, and built up some ratings momentum heading into the new year."
Tony Dokoupil averaged 4.17 million viewers the week after his Jan. 5 debut as CBS Evening News anchor. That figure was slightly higher than last year's 4.05 million but lower than the 5.22 million the same week a year earlier and the 4.56 million averaged in the first quarter of 2025. Viewership dipped after Jan. 5 from an initial 4.37 million. ABC's World News Tonight led total viewers with 8.08 million (989,000 in the 25-54 demo), NBC Nightly News drew 6.73 million (992,000 in 25-54), and CBS finished third with 4.17 million and 533,000 in the demo. NBC's demo win marked its first weekly victory in the 25-54 group in nearly six years after Tom Llamas replaced Lester Holt.
