TV Ratings: The Emmys Jump 54 Percent


An estimated 6.9 million people watched Sunday's Emmy Awards telecast that featured record-setting wins for sweeping historical drama "Shogun," Disney-owned broadcaster ABC said on Monday, reaching a three-year high for the awards show.

The audience grew 54% from the all-time low set by the previous Emmys ceremony, which aired in an unusual January slot because of disruptions caused by Hollywood labor strikes. That ceremony attracted roughly 4.3 million viewers.

  • Hosted by Emmy® Award-winning father-and-son duo Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, the “76th Emmy Awards” on ABC drew 6.87 Million Total Viewers and a 1.02 rating in Adults 18-49, surging by double digits of +54% and +17%, respectively, over the “75th Emmy Awards” on FOX (4.46 million and 0.87 rating, respectively, on 1/15/24).
  • The “76th Emmy Awards” telecast on ABC posted the award show’s largest overall audience in 3 years, since the show’s airing on CBS (9/19/21), which enjoyed an NFL football game lead-in.
  • Sunday’s show outperformed ABC’s previous airing by +8% in Total Viewers (6.87 million vs. 6.39 million on 9/20/20).
  • Despite facing substantial competition from NFL programming in local markets that included Chicago and Houston, ABC’s eight Owned Television Stations saw a combined 2.56 million Total Viewers and 650,600 Adults 25-54, outdelivering the “75th Emmy Awards” on FOX, by +68% and +23% respectively.
