“CBS Evening News” has poured resources into its relaunch under anchor Tony Dokoupil, including a national tour and a trip to Israel to cover the Iran war, and the show has featured high-profile interviews with President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. But the ratings haven’t followed.
Total viewers for the show in the week ending on March 13 reached 3.84 million, according to Nielsen data, down from the nearly 4.17 million from his debut week as anchor in January. In the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic, he hit 468,000 viewers, down from the 533,000 viewers in his debut week. CBS also retitled the show on Friday, March 13, so those ratings were not factored into the total.
