Wednesday Ratings: ‘The Price Is Right At Night’ Puts CBS On Top Among Total Viewers

Wednesday, December 22, 2021
Final National Ratings

As Christmas approaches and the networks are in holiday mode as their schedules are primarily filled with special and/or repeat programming, the broadcast network that topped Wednesday evening among adults 18-49 turned out to be one that aired its regularly-scheduled lineup; Spanish language outlet Univision. Its 10 p.m. telenovela “La Desalmada” was the night’s top telecast based on the key demographic.

Leading among total viewers was CBS with its combo of “The Price Is Right At Night” (earning the most total viewers for any telecast in prime time; also, the top English language telecast among adults 18-49) and “The Kennedy Center Honors.”

A Christmas singalong edition of “The Masked Singer” could not lift the Fox network above any of the Big-3 nor Telemundo in adults 18-49
