EMMY AWARDS RATINGS HIT NEW LOW

 
The 68th Primetime Emmy Awards last night on ABC saw big repeat wins for Game of Thrones and Veep in the Outstanding Drama and Comedy Series categories and a strong second stint as host for Jimmy Kimmel.
Television’s biggest night also saw itself once again facing off against Sunday Night Football on NBC where the Minnesota Viking beat the Green Bay Packers 17-14.
And the results weren’t exactly a repeat for the Emmys but still steady with 2015.
With a 8.4/13 result in metered market ratings, last night’s 8 – 11 PM shindig from the well protected Microsoft Theater in downtown L.A. was down just over 3% from last year. That small decline does make the 68th Primetime Emmys the lowest rated ever in early numbers. The Andy Sandberg-hosted 67th Primetime Emmys previously held that distinction.
Broadcast on Fox last year, the September 20 2015 Emmys went on to snag a 3.6 rating among adults 18-49 and 11.9 million total viewers – also an all-time low.
For the NFL and NBC, Sunday looks to be a win as the game was for the Vikings, but SNF took a hit from last year and last week. The primetime part of last night’s game at U.S. Bank Stadium scored a 13.7/22 in MM numbers. That’s down 18% in the early results from the comparable September 20, 2015 gridiron match-up where the Packers beat the Seattle Seahawks 27 – 17.
Last night’s game dipped 9% in MM ratings from the SNF kickoff of last week where the New England Patriots beat the Arizona Cardinals 23-21. For you real statheads, the SNF decline from Week 1 to Week 2 this year is 7% greater in MM numbers than last year – something to consider overall. The September 11 Patriots vs. Cardinals game went on to hit 23.1 million viewers on a much less competitive night – was down 16% from the SNF kickoff of 2015 in viewers for NBC and the NFL.
