For the week of July 19, 2010, ABC’s “Good Morning America” averaged 3.87 million Total Viewers and a 1.2/11 among Adults 25-54. Versus last year, ABC was the only program to grow among Total Viewers (+1%) versus the same week last year, while NBC (-2%) and CBS (-12%) both fell.
Week to week, “GMA” was the only morning program to experience growth among both Adults 25-54 (+6%) and Total Viewers (+2%). NBC’s “Today” and CBS’ “Early Show” both lost Adult 25-54 and Total Viewers versus the prior week.
