Emmy Awards Ratings Rise 54% in 2024

The 2024 Emmy Awards, aired on ABC, attracted 6.87 million viewers, marking a 54% increase from the previous January's all-time low of 4.3 million viewers. This year's ceremony, hosted by Eugene and Dan Levy, returned to its traditional mid-September slot after delays caused by Hollywood strikes, contributing to a substantial ratings boost. The audience figure represents the highest viewership for the Emmys since 2021. The show also saw a notable rise in the 18-49 demographic, achieving a 1.02 rating, up 17% from the previous year. Despite the improvement, the overall viewership remains significantly lower than in pre-pandemic years, with the last time surpassing 10 million viewers occurring in 2018. This upward trend indicates a potential recovery for the Emmys after a series of rating declines in recent years.
