Even with a new anchor at the helm, "CBS Evening News" appears to be treading water among audiences.
The Emmy-nominated network newscast, which received a revamp earlier this year with the selection of host Tony Dokoupil, has hit a ratings slump, according to a new report from Adweek.
The broadcast show brought in 3.771 million total viewers for the week of April 20, per the outlet, which cites a combination of national live and same-day big data plus program ratings from Nielsen. The ratings low marks the third consecutive week that "CBS Evening News" earned less than 4 million viewers.
In comparison, CBS' network news counterparts, "ABC World News Tonight" and "NBC Nightly News," averaged 8.537 million and 6.168 million viewers, respectively, for the same time period.
Additionally, the Dokoupil-led news program reached 467,000 viewers in the 25-54 age bracket, which Adweek noted is a "prized" demographic among television audiences. The less-than-stellar figure solidifies a three-week streak in which "Evening News" remained below 500,000 viewers for the demographic group.
