ABC’s summer Sunday game shows topped broadcast’s primetime last night, when the network faced stiff competition from “60 Minutes” and the 2020 BET Awards on CBS.
The 2020 BET Awards were also simulcast across ViacomCBS’ cable channels. We do not yet have those Nielsen numbers, so we don’t currently have a full snapshot of how the BET Awards performed.
ABC was first in ratings with a 0.6 rating/4 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 4.2 million, according to preliminary numbers.
