Final Broadcast Ratings: May 25, 2015

ABC and NBC battled it out for Memorial Day supremacy. Both networks collected 5.3 million viewers, on the night, with NBC edging out ABC for the A18-49 and A25-54 demographic titles. CBS, FOX and the CW were non factors, airing encore programming, on the holiday.

AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR was the most watched and highest rated program on the night, with 5.9 million viewers and a 1.7 rating in the A18-49 demographic and a 2.3 in the A25-54 demographic. Last year, ANW drew 4.7 million viewers and a 1.5 rating in the A18-49 demo.

Following ANW, was the new reality series THE ISLAND. It only held onto less than 70% of its lead in audience. But it was the #3 program of the night in the two demographic categories.

500 QUESTIONS continues to draw mediocre ratings, topping only repeats. THE BACHELORETTE did not increase viewership by very much, but it did bump the A18-49 ratings by 45%, from its lead in.

CBS came close to tying both ABC and NBC, in total viewership, with nothing but repeats of its Monday night shows.
