Emmy’s Have A Record Low TV Audience
According to WLKY-TV, the Emmy Awards Show was a rating disaster.
The Emmy Awards hit a new low in viewership on Monday night. It had an estimated audience of 5.9 million people. That was even smaller than the COVID-19-disrupted ceremony two years ago.
The Nielsen company said the ceremony honoring television’s best work was down from the 7.4 million people who watched in 2021. Ouch! The Emmys were hosted by Kenan Thompson of “Saturday Night Live.”
Emmys ratings have been on a steady slide. Experts say this is because the awards have begun to be dominated by shows on cable and streaming services. The last time the Emmys exceeded 10 million viewers was in 2018. That year it reached an audience of 10.2 million. The Emmys had 21.8 million viewers in 2000, a level it will probably never reach again.
