NBC’s Nightly News lost viewers in anchor Tom Llamas’ first month as he took the reins from Lester Holt, while his ex-ABC colleague David Muir saw his ratings at ABC’s World News Tonight increase.
Llamas, 46, started his run on June 2. The show’s June ratings averaged around 5.674 million viewers, down from the 66-year-old Holt’s final average at 5.708 million viewers. It also saw a slight drop in viewers in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 demographic, dropping from 828,000 viewers to 823,000 as Holt left the program on May 26.
Muir led World News Tonight to increase its lead over Nightly News between May and June, growing from 7.24 million to 7.308 million in total viewers.
