ABC and NBC held onto the top two slots across broadcast evening news ratings for the week of September 8, but CBS Evening News was the only program to see gains in both total viewers and the key Adults 25-54 demo. However, CBS is showing a double digit drop on its ratings compared with the same week last year.

According to AdWeek, citing live-plus-same-day data from Nielsen, CBS Evening News had 3.872 million total viewers and 574,000 viewers in the key demo for the week of September 8. This was up 4% in total viewers and up 11% in the demo compared to the week before. It was the only evening news broadcast to post growth in both categories.
