'See BS Evening News' Ratings Revealed After Shocking '60 Minutes' Firings [View all]

The latest evening news ratings are in, and it was bad news across the board for the three major networks, with CBS Evening News hit particularly hard in its week-over-week numbers.

According to AdWeek, citing national live+same-day big data plus program ratings from Nielsen, CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil averaged 3.787 million total viewers and 493,000 viewers in the coveted Adults 25-54 demographic for the week of May 25.

Compared to the previous week, the show was down 6 percent in total viewers and down 19 percent in the demo. This marked a downturn after recent rises for CBS Evening News.

The show's ratings drop came the same week CBS News fired 60 Minutes executive producers Tanya Simon and Draggan Mihailovich, as well as correspondents Cecilia Vega and Sharyn Alfonsi, and a week after Anderson Cooper said his final farewell to the program.
