RATINGS: TODAY is Number One in Total Viewers  Image

TODAY was the number-one morning show outright last week topping "Good Morning America" in total viewers, A25-54 and A18-49 for the twelfth time this season. TODAY also won the key demo A25-54 for the week marking 184 straight weeks in the top spot, its best streak in nearly seven years. No other morning news show has been number one in the demo for as long a streak. Additionally, TODAY grew its demo lead versus GMA week over week and versus last year. Season to date, TODAY has closed the total viewer margin with GMA by 7% versus the same time last year.

TODAY was retitled Thursday and Friday of last week due to the July 4th holiday.
