Fox News Channel was second, averaging 3.065 million, followed by NBC, which averaged 2.81 million, and ABC, which averaged 2.34 million.Fox averaged 1.55 million viewers for its 16 hours, 18 minutes of prime-time programming, fourth among the broadcast networks and sixth overall. Its top program was its second “Fox Saturday Baseball” telecast of the coronavirus-delayed season.

With less first-run programming because of the pandemic, combined four-network prime-time viewership was down 14.7% from the corresponding week one year ago, when “America’s Got Talent” was the week’s highest-rated broadcast program, averaging 7.975 million viewers. That same week, the season finale of ABC dating series “The Bachelorette” averaged 7.523 million and NBC’s coverage of the NFL Hall of Fame Game averaged 5.346 million viewers.
