What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the NBC television network, Dateline is a news magazine that’s the longest-running series in the network’s primetime history. Debuting in 1992, the program sometimes airs multiple times a week and covers stories ranging from mysteries to documentaries and in-depth investigations.

Season 30 Ratings
The Friday episodes of the 30th season of Dateline NBC average a 0.37 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.90 million viewers. Compared to the Friday episodes of season 29, that’s down by 9% in the demo and up by 2% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
