U.S. Primetime Broadcast TV Ratings: 12/25 - 12/31/2017

Below are the broadcast TV ratings for the week ending December 31, 2017. The first chart includes ratings based on households (HH), adults 18-34, adults 18-49 (most to two-decimal places), adults 25-54, and total viewers (presented in millions). A second chart is also provided which includes persons-using-television (PUT) 18-49 data for each day of the week (except Saturdays). Note: most reruns are excluded from the chart below.

In the final week of 2017, ABC took victory in the adults 18-49 rating (1.2 rating/5 share) and took second to CBS (5.69 million) in total viewers (4.53 million). ABC's defining moment this week was naturally, 'Dick Clark's 'New Year's Rockin' Eve' which hit a 5.0 rating/20 share in adults 18-49 and 15.8 million viewers. Among scripted originals, NBC's 'Great News' (0.4/1, 1.68 million viewers) aired on Thursday, and 'Ten Days in the Valley' (0.2/1, 1.44 million) aired Saturday.
