Ratings Analysis: On Tuesday night, President Trump's address to Congress brought in ratings that were generally higher than President Biden's 2024 State of the Union address. On network TV, ABC's coverage (1.00 rating/6.33 million viewers) easily topped the night. NBC (0.57 rating/3.91 million) placed second in Adults 18-49 ratings but was the only big 4 network to decline from the year-ago Biden address. CBS (0.56 rating/4.01 million) was third in the demo but second in total viewers. Fox (0.52 rating/2.65 million) settled for last place, though it was more competitive than usual. In the 8 p.m. hour, Fox's Kitchen Nightmares (0.27, -0.01) inched down, while NBC reality series Deal or No Deal Island (0.22, -0.05) dealt with a more severe decline. CBS's Price Is Right rerun (0.35) easily beat out ABC's Will Trent encore (0.22). WWE NXT (0.15, -0.04) slipped on the CW. Key: (R) = repeat.
