Emmy Awards Viewership Surges by 54% to Reach 6.9 Million

The 76th Primetime Emmys saw a significant increase in viewers, marking the highest ratings in three years despite competition from NFL football.

The Emmys telecast on ABC garnered 6.87 million viewers, a 54% increase from the record low of 4.3 million in January.
This year's Emmys, hosted by Eugene and Dan Levy, achieved the largest audience since the 2021 ceremony on CBS.
The show faced competition from an NFL game but still managed to outperform ABC's 2020 virtual telecast by 8%.
Top awards went to 'Shogun,' 'Hacks,' and 'Baby Reindeer,' with 'Shogun' breaking records for most wins in a single year.
The improved ratings signal a positive trend for awards shows, following similar gains in viewership for the Oscars earlier this year.
