The carriage dispute between Disney and YouTubeTV came to a merciful end last Friday, during the week of November 10. Unfortunately, the timing still meant ABC’s national availability was limited, as 10 million pay-TV homes were excluded from YouTube TV for the second straight week.
Fortunately for ABC News, this unavailability didn’t do as much harm as the previous week, as World News Tonight won the week in total viewers and the Adults 25-54 demo.
For the week of November 10, WNT was the only evening broadcast to experience week-to-week growth in both measured categories, while CBS Evening News was the only newscast to fall in both measurements.
Note: The weekly average of ABC World News Tonight is based on the retitled broadcasts that aired from Tuesday (11\/11\/2025) through Friday (11\/14\/25). Monday’s (11\/10\/2025) broadcast was not included due to the NFL.<\/em>
