If you've ever wondered why your favorite news anchors sometimes disappear or why certain stories get more airtime, it often comes down to TV news ratings. You might be surprised by how much these numbers, often based on a tiny fraction of viewers, shape the news you see every day.

For the week of March 25-31, 2024, ABC's World News Tonight with David Muir continued its lead, averaging 7.3 million viewers.
