Saturday TV Ratings 8/26/23: NASCAR Leads the Night as MLB Takes Second, College Football Low (UPDATED)


Ratings Analysis: Though Fox's 'MLB: Regional Coverage' (0.37, -0.03) is used to topping the night without contest, NBC's broadcast of the 'NASCAR Coke Zero Sugar 400' (0.46) slid past 'MLB' and claimed the #1 spot in the Adults 18-49 demographic. On the lower-end of things, ABC's broadcast of the 'SC St. v. Jackson St.' college football game (0.17) was a complete dud that even lost out to a 10 p.m. rerun of CBS's '48 Hours' (0.18). CBS had another '48 Hours' (0.14) at 9 p.m. and an encore of 'NCIS: Los Angeles' (0.12) in the 8 p.m. time slot. 'Great Chocolate Showdown' (0.06, +0.01) picked up a hundredth on the CW. 'Recipe for Disaster' (0.05, +0.01; 0.04, +0.01) was up by the same amount in each half-hour. 

Finals Update: 'MLB: Regional Coverage' (+0.1) adjusted up. 'NASCAR Coke Zero Sugar 400' (-0.1), the 9:30 PM episode of 'Recipe for Disaster' (-0.1), and repeats of 'NCIS: Los Angeles' (-0.2) and '48 Hours' (-0.1) at 9 PM adjusted down.
