Ratings Analysis: Fox's broadcast of the Billboard Music Awards (0.17) was a total dud in the key demographic, only managing to place fourth in the 8 p.m. time slot. On NBC, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (0.36) remained healthy in its second 2024 showing, but the E! News special that followed (0.18) retained just half of its lead-in. On CBS, Georgie & Mandy (0.39, -0.04), Ghosts (0.36, -0.08), and Matlock (0.32, -0.05) all declined, but Elsbeth (0.23, 0.00) held steady. The Great Christmas Light Fight (0.23, -0.02) dipped on ABC. Scrabble (0.05, 0.00) was stable on the CW, but Trivial Pursuit (0.04, -0.01) ticked down. Key: (R) = repeat.
