Wednesday Final Nationals: CMA Music Festival in ABC Grows Year-to-Year in Total Audience but Ties Adults 18-49 Rating Low

NBC won Wednesday outright among total viewers (6.47 million) and adults 25-54 (1.7 rating/5 share). ABC and NBC tied for the lead in adults 18-49 (1.2/5).

ABC, which led the night among adults 18-34 (0.8/4), televised the annual “CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock”. The 3-hour special rose 7 percent in total viewers from the year-ago CMA festival (5.232 million on 8/05/15) that had then sunk to a seven-year low in viewership. Its 1.2 adults 18-49 rating matched the aforementioned 2015 event which ties an all-time low for the festival.
