In a follow-up to our previous report on CBS being set for a record-breaking 17th consecutive broadcast season win, Nielsen recently released its first full season report highlighting the 35-day multiplatform viewing performance among television shows across broadcast and streaming for 2024-2025.

Ranking as the most-watched broadcast network season-to-date for 2024-2025, CBS is averaging 9.1 million viewers, followed by NBC with 7.2 million and ABC in third with 6.9 million. FOX placed fourth with 4.3 million. 

Factoring in episode averages after 35 days of multiplatform viewing among the broadcast shows, “Tracker” continues to rank as the most-watched broadcast series with 17.5 million viewers, followed by “Matlock” in second (tie with “High Potential”) with 16.1 million viewers. Closing out the top five were comedies “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage” and “Ghosts,” each with 12.1 million viewers.

At ABC, “High Potential” ranked second (tie with “Matlock”) with 16.1 million viewers, followed by “Will Trent” in sixth with 11.6 million viewers and “9-1-1” topping out in ninth place with 11.2 million. Freshman comedy “Shifting Gears” averaged 11.1 million viewers to place tenth.

NBC was led by its recently renewed #OneChicago lineup (“Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.”), each averaging more than nine million viewers.

Overall, CBS placed four of the top five shows, six of the top 10 and 11 of the top 20. ABC had four shows in the top ten and six shows among the top 20. NBC had just three shows in the top 20. FOX had no shows in the top 20.

What follows is a breakdown of how primetime broadcast performed season-to-date on average after 35 days of multiplatform viewing.

    • What we're watching now was filmed in the early week after the premiere but I wouldn't imagine we'll see any changes based on audience feedback until August/September because of how far they ahead film/write.
    • I'm trying to remember the Brian Gaskell-as-Dylan years, and I don't recall him ever playing the character as blind. Am I right? Did Dylan's blindness get cured at some point off-screen? And did the show ever acknowledge this, or did they just hope that the viewers had forgotten about Dylan's life-changing disability (ala DOOL's Phillip, who used to have only one leg back when he was played by Kyle Brandt, but hasn't mentioned that he's an amputee war veteran in years now)? 
    • I just watched today (U.S Wednesday) episode. I love the Chelsea/Dani scenes.  Dani was way over the top; but Chelsea was the voice of reason trying to stop Dani from being so extra.  Every time Dani said the ridiculous dramatic thing, Chelsea was trying to calm her down, to be reasonable.   See, in this episode, Dani wasn't the star, Chelsea was the star with her calming presence. I felt like the show itself was acknowledging that Dani is too much - she is who she is -- not a villain, but not a heroine either.   This feels (to me) like a change from three months ago when BTG began.  At the beginning of BTG, I thought we were being told to root for Dani.  Now it's not that.  So I'm team Chelsea today.
    • This is so great, thanks for sharing!!!  Ahh, this must have been right after Jenny died. The flashback montage with Jesse/Jenny was very sweet. I remember my mom saying she was always devastated when Jenny died.
    • I enjoyed reading your perspective. I did shed a tear when Tracy showed Gio the broach and the photo of Edward and Lila. 
    • Today has been another great one. This has to be some of the best work of Dee’s career. Hate the circumstances but it’s so believable because I’m sure a lot of it isn’t really acting. It’s wonderful. Christie Clark came back in like she never left. I had assumed John raised Carrie in the RoJohn days since he was taking care of Sami and Eric. The flashback to young Carrie and John telling Carrie Marlena died was great. Carrie and Marlena scenes were excellent and so emotional. Marlena telling Carrie she’s her daughter and she’s John’s daughter

      “You will always be our daughter.” John grabbing Carrie’s hand I don’t hate Stacy, but the John of it all needs Eileen.  Rachel doesn’t feel like a demon spawn anymore boooo. Really wish we could’ve seen Kate visit John. They were once a couple, but ontop of that had been friends and business partners throughout the years.    Mumbles Taylor is just getting harder and harder to understand. Omg a flashback to the penthouse. What an incredible set. Really enjoyed the Abe and John scenes as well. Drake truly was so charismatic and committed to the material for his entire tenure on the show. I don’t care what anyone thought of his talent. His dedication and charisma and charm was exactly what the character of John needed.
    • Yeah, I would get it if its been years, or they left town normally... but with Dylan, he only left like 3 months before ghost Reva showed up, and then less than a year before Goshen Reva made it back to Springfield. When you add in something as serious as going blind and then amnesia, you'd think there would at least be some throwaway line to acknowledge it like "Oh I need to go visit Dylan at his school, I'll be back tomorrow" haha.  Oh well.

      Oh and yes @DRW50, when I looked up the character of Dylan earlier, I noticed a familiar name in Brian Gaskell and got excited haha.  
    • Unpopular opinion, but the Chelsea coming out scene reeked of Afterschool Special and I really didn't care that we didn't see her coming out to her grandparents.  We were spared the 'We're Duprees and we're better than everyone' speech. As a gay person, I kind of like watching straight people acting all messy and cringey (which is why I probably have a soft spot for Ashley/Derek... and sometimes wish Jacob would take his balls back from his warden Naomi) LOL If the show were willing to take risks, I would think the Dani arc is basically a 2020's version of Betty Broderick... but I doubt Dani would actually shot/kill Bill and Hayley.  Though I do have a feeling that if Hayley is pregnant that Dani will cause to miscarry the baby.
    • I don't think that's clever, though. Maybe the writers should forget about throwing shade and write dialogue and story for Ashley and Derek that isn't boring and doesn't paint them as boring.   I agree -- both of those still need a ton of work. I still say the fades to commercials look like someone walked past the camera and hit the OFF button.   Yep, this was regression in every way. Dani was all hopped up with Chelsea like she'd taken some party drug, and then it got worse when she literally broke into Bill and Hayley's house.   -- The fakeout scene was good, but I don't want them to go to that well too often. They're already in danger of doing that. -- I'm good with Brandon Claybon's acting style. It's different, but in a good way. -- It was an interesting turn to have Tyrell question Jessica's intentions. -- I didn't see anything special about the plated food on today's show. At Orphey Gene's, it looked like everyone had a plate of french fries.
    • Diana's BSOD in Gary and Abby's hot tub is yet another gif-worthy moment.
