TODAY SHOW Is #1 Season-to-Date

NBC News' TODAY is the number-one morning show across the board, beating the competition in total viewers, A25-54 and A18-49 season-to-date. TODAY also topped ABC's GMA in the key A25-54 demo last week, marking its 119th straight week and its best streak in nearly six years. On Tuesday, TODAY won outright, topping GMA in both total viewers and A25-54. Additionally, TODAY was the only morning broadcast to improve vs. the previous week in total viewers and in A25-54. Meanwhile, both GMA and CBS THIS MORNING were down across both measurements week-to-week. TODAY also narrowed the total viewer gap with GMA vs. a year ago and last week.
