Monday TV Ratings 5/29/23: American Ninja Warrior: Women’s Championship OK, NASCAR Leads, The Rising Decent by CW Standards (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Fox's broadcast of the 'NASCAR Coca-Cola 600' (0.52) easily topped the night and was only half a point lower than last year's edition (0.57). Though not listed in the chart, the postgame coverage (0.41/0.31) tapered off significantly at 9. Viewers quickly fled from there as a 9:14 p.m. rerun of 'MasterChef' (0.16) disappointed for a 15-minute broadcast. At 9:30, the repeat of 'Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars' (0.14) went even lower. On NBC, the debut of the Women's Championship edition of 'American Ninja Warrior' (0.30) put up a decent number and led into a rerun of 'Weakest Link' (0.21). CBS had reruns of 'The Neighborhood' (0.23), 'Bob Hearts Abishola' (0.19), and 'A Grammy Salute to The Beach Boys' (0.17). ABC's trio of 'Celebrity Family Feud' reruns (0.36/0.31/0.27) performed markedly better than CBS's encores. The CW launched new dramas 'The Rising' (0.05) and 'Barons' (0.03). Neither was a breakout hit, but the netlet has clearly done worse in recent times.

Finals Update: The 8 PM repeat of 'Celebrity Family Feud' (+0.1) adjusted up. The repeat of 'Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars' (-0.1) adjusted down.
