Wednesday TV Ratings 8/21/24: Democratic National Convention Dips Slightly but Continues to Out-Rate RNC, MasterChef and America’s Got Talent Drop to Lows [+ Analysis]

Ratings Analysis: Though cable coverage of the Democratic National Convention was down slightly on night three, the opposite was true for two of the broadcast networks. The ABC (0.41, +0.04) and NBC (0.34, +0.02) broadcasts were up a bit in the key demo, but CBS's coverage (0.29, -0.03) slipped. Earlier in the evening, Fox's MasterChef (0.21, -0.02) was down from last week, as was Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (0.32, -0.01). America's Got Talent (0.25, -0.09) plummeted on NBC, and Big Brother (0.56, -0.05) also dealt with a noticeable week-to-week drop. The CW aired repeats of Sullivan's Crossing (0.06) and Police 24/7 (0.07). Key: (R) = repeat.
