Weekly Final Nationals: ABC Dominates Demos During Holiday Week

ABC ruled the final week of 2017 among adults 18-49 over its broadcast competition, beating CBS and Fox by 33 percent each, and NBC by 50 percent. Year to year, ABC was up the most among the major networks, jumping 20 percent in adults 18-49 over the year-ago week.
 
Featuring primetime Christmas Day NBA coverage, ABC finished as Monday’s #1 broadcaster in total viewers and adults 18-49, matching a season high on the evening with young adults. From 8:01-10:33 p.m., ABC’s primetime NBA game (Houston-Oklahoma) delivered the strongest primetime Christmas Day NBA telecast in 14 years with total viewers and adults 18-49  – since 2003 with Houston-LA Lakers.

On Dec. 31, ABC scored it strongest non-sports Sunday since the 2017 Oscars in February – since 2/26/17. Dominating its 2-hour time slot from 8-10pm, ABC’s broadcast of Dick Clark’s Primetime New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2018 Part 1 shot up by strong double digits from its year-ago telecast (which had aired on a Saturday night) with total viewers (+59 percent) and adults 18-49 (+63 percent).

At 10pm, ABC’s broadcast of Dick Clark’s Primetime New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2018 Part 2 stood as the week’s #1 TV program with total viewers and across each of the key adult demos. Also, it delivered the program’s best-ever results since debuting in 2000 on 12/31/00.
