CBS Evening News’ woes continue to worsen under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss’ leadership, as the newscast's competitors steamed ahead in the latest ratings.

ABC World News Tonight, led by David Muir, holds the number one position, with second-ranked NBC Nightly News, anchored by Tom Llamas, quickly catching up.

While both ABC and NBC’s news broadcasts reported viewership gains during the week of July 13, CBS’s program was the only show to finish with a viewership loss, according to Nielsen ratings shared by TVNewser.

During that week, ABC maintained its lead in both total viewers and the key adults 25-54 demographic. ABC World News Tonight averaged 8.476 million total viewers from that demographic.

The evening newscast was up 2 percent among total viewers and 1 percent among that key demographic compared to the previous week. From the same week last year, ABC World News Tonight was up 17 percent in total viewers and 3 percent in the demographic.

NBC Nightly News trailed not too far behind, averaging 6.684 million total viewers and 1.002 million viewers in the 25-54 demographic.

The program was up by 5 percent in total viewers and 7 percent in the demographic compared to the previous week. Compared to the same week last year, NBC Nightly News was up by 20 percent in total viewers and the demographic.

Meanwhile, CBS Evening News, anchored by Tony Dokoupil, lagged significantly, finishing the week of July 13 with 3.754 million total viewers and 472,000 viewers in the 25-54 demographic.

The newscast lost -1 percent in total viewers and -5 percent in the demographic compared to the previous week — making it the only program of the three to drop in viewers. Compared to the same week last year, the show lost -1 percent total viewers and -5 percent in the key demographic.

CBS News has faced a series of setbacks and a steady decline in viewership ever since Weiss was named editor-in-chief last October, when Paramount, the network’s parent company, was acquired by billionaire David Ellison, who reportedly has ties to President Donald Trump.

Weiss, the founder of the “anti-woke” media outlet The Free Press, came into the role with no previous broadcast experience, promising to overhaul the network.

However, Weiss has faced scrutiny for the network’s direction since she took over. Critics have claimed that Weiss has steered the network’s coverage to favor Trump and Israel. She reportedly responded that she is not “a mouthpiece for anybody.”

One flashpoint came in December, when she trashed a 60 Minutes segment highlighting the harsh conditions in a Latin American prison where the Trump administration deported Venezuelan migrants. The report aired about a month later.

CBS News later declined to renew the contract of the 60 Minutes correspondent behind the piece, Sharyn Alfonsi. Several other veterans at the network were also let go under Weiss, including 60 Minutes executive producer Tanya Simon and correspondents Cecilia Vega and Scott Pelley.

Pelley, 68, who worked at the network for nearly four decades, was fired after accusing Weiss of “murdering” the flagship news program during an explosive editorial meeting.

Under Weiss’ leadership, CBS Mornings has also seen ratings drop drastically, reporting its “worst-rated June ever” following the firing of Pelley.

The controversy surrounding Pelley’s firing prompted a steep decline in viewership of the program, the newsletter Status reported, citing Nielsen ratings.

In June, the program averaged 1.8 million total viewers, including 313,000 adults between the ages of 25 and 54. On June 3, the day after Pelley was fired, total viewership fell to 1.59 million, with 225,000 in the key demographic.

The drop marked an 11 percent decrease in total viewership and “a staggering 28% drop in the demo,” Status reported, adding that the rapid change “alarmed some officials” at the network.

CBS Mornings also experienced its “worst-rated May on record,” according to the report.
