‘Nightline’ Is No. 1 in Total Viewers for the 3rd Straight Week

ABC News’ “Nightline” ranked No. 1 Total Viewers for the 3rd straight week during the week of July 25, 2022, based on Live + Same Day Data from Nielsen Media Research.

“Nightline” also beat CBS in Adults 25-54 and Adults 18-49.

Season to date, “Nightline” is beating CBS’ “The Late Late Show with James Corden” in Adults 25-54 and Adults 18-49 for the 7th consecutive year — since the 2015-2016 season.

This week, “Nightline” covered the passing of “Good Fellas” actor Paul Sorvino; fears of increased shark sightings; a powerful roundtable discussion where Black women talked mental health and healing; the Pope’s apology to Indigenous communities; Anna Delvey’s “second act”; a college basketball star becoming one of the highest paid female athletes in collegiate sport history; a Highland Park mom’s take on the gun lobby; a genre-bending dance style called “hiplet,” a mix of hip-hop and ballet; dramatic increases in the price of rent; Selena Quintanilla’s family’s announcement about the release of new music; and Real Housewives star Erika Jayne’s new legal drama.
