Emmy ratings: Early numbers suggest increase over last year
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Last night’s Primetime Emmy Awards posted the highest local ratings in seven years, according to very early Nielsen stats.
In the preliminary metered markets, from 8-11:15 PM, CBS’s broadcast of the 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards clocked a household 12.1/19, which is up by double-digit percentages compared to a year ago (9.6/15).
These early stats are the Emmy’s highest local ratings in seven years.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}BIG QUALIFIER: Due to late-running football on CBS and with the trophy show airing live across the country, these numbers are not so reliable as will be more telling numbers that are time-zone adjusted. They will be delayed until later today. Those fast-national ratings issued at 11 AM by Nielsen are not time adjusted.
