The numbers are nowhere near where they were, pre-covid, but the networks do still raking large amounts of cash selling ad time on their broadcast outlets. NBC's Sunday Night Football is, by far, the top revenue producers, getting over $825K per spot.
The top prime-time money producers for each network is
The CW - WALKER ($24.5k)
ABC - GREY'S ANATOMY ($207.5k)
CBS - YOUNG SHELDON ($161k)
FOX - THE MASKED SINGER ($165.7k)
CBS rules the Monday night ratings of May 23, every show of the night drawing over 5.4 million viewers, lead by NCIS with just under 7.5 million viewers. ABC was second on the night with the NBA playoffs, as 6.4 million tuned in. NBC and FOX were uncompetitive, with each network in the low to mid two million viewer range. NBC aired the theatrical movie, JURASSIC WORLD, while FOX premiere its summer programs. As usual, The CW was a distant fifth with an average of just over 500,000 viewers.
Week six of the USFL had three of the four games on broadcast TV, but only the NBC primetime game managed to collect over one million viewers. The Panthers vs Stallions game drew 1.2 million viewers and just shy of a 0.2 rating in Adults 18-49. The game topped FOX's MLS coverage, also in Saturday night primetime, but both of those games were far behind ABC's coverage of the NBA playoffs, which had well over six million viewers.
For the first week of the season, The USFL failed to draw a million viewers to any one game on the weekend, even though three of the four games were on broadcast TV. NBC's Sunday afternoon game was the top draw with just over 900,000 viewers, while the two FOX games, one each on Saturday and Sunday, hovered around 700,000 each. The lone game on cable TV, on USA, grabbed just 250,000 on Friday night.
The TV ratings for the third week of the USFL looked similar to week two. The league had one game over one million viewers and another reach over 800k. Both of these games were on FOX, on Saturday.
USA had a game this week, drawing under 300k in total viewers, less than last weeks Friday night game, which drew 360k.
The final game of the week, on Sunday night, aired exclusively on Peacock. No viewership data was released from the streaming service, but It may be assumed it was the least watched game of the week.
