2 Comments

Across eight Viacom networks — BET, BET Her, Logo, MTV, MTV2, MTV Classic, VH1 and TV Land — the 18th annual BET Awards drew 4.3 million viewers.

Although that figure put the event as cable’s most-watched telecast for the week of June 18-24, it lagged behind the viewership for each of the ceremony’s prior 15 editions:

2001: 2.8 million viewers
2002: 2.6
2003: 5.5
2004: 5.6
2005: 6.6
2006: 6.6
2007: 6.4
2008: 5.8
2009: 10.6
2010: 7.4
2011: 7.7
2012: 7.4
2013: 7.8
2014: 7.9
2015: 6.5
2016: 7.2
2017: 5.8
2018: 4.3
