Sunday TV Ratings 9/7/25: MTV Video Music Awards Strong in CBS Debut but Down on MTV, Task Debuts Low on HBO, The Great North Hits Series Low for Special Airing [+ Analysis]

In its first CBS broadcast, the MTV Video Music Awards posted a strong 1.26 rating in the Adults 18-49 demographic, benefiting massively from its NFL lead-in (6.26). NBC also made serious noise with its mammoth Ravens v. Bills NFL game (5.80). ABC aired Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (0.13). On Fox, The Great North (0.08, -0.06) plummeted to a new low after a rerun of Animal Control (0.08). The CW aired the 2004 blockbuster Shrek 2 (0.04). Key: (R) = repeat. 

Sunday TV Ratings 11/3/24: Fox Lineup Underperforms Last NFL Night, Tracker and The Penguin Slip, Holiday Wars Returns Lower [+ Analysis]

Ratings Analysis: Fox had NFL Overrun (5.77) and The OT (3.76) at their disposal, but The Simpsons (0.93, +0.67) appeared oddly weak in the retention department. Universal Basic Guys (0.42, +0.23) could not even hold half of its Simpsons lead-in, while Bob's Burgers (0.30, +0.08) and Krapopolis (0.21, +0.07) were barely up at all. On CBS, 60 Minutes (0.70, -0.58) plummeted, but Tracker (0.47, -0.06) was down by a lot less, and The Equalizer (0.31, +0.01) actually ticked up. ABC's showing of the Disney film Coco (0.18) dropped considerably from the rerun of America's Funniest Home Videos (0.25) that led into it. In the 10 p.m. hour, Price of Fame: The Liam Payne Story (0.07) completely bombed. NBC's Colts/Vikings NFL game (5.28) was the top-rated broadcast of the evening. The CW went political with Bill O'Reilly's Confronting the Presidents (0.05) and then tried to appeal to the other side with Clinton: Portrait of a Presidency (0.03). Key: (R) = repeat.
