What’s This TV Show About?

A primetime newsmagazine airing on the NBC television network, the Dateline TV show is the longest-running series in the network’s history. Debuting in 1992, the program covers stories ranging from mysteries to documentaries and in-depth investigations. Lester Holt anchors the series.

Season 32 Ratings

The Friday night episodes of the 32nd season of Dateline NBC averaged a 0.25 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.43 million viewers. Compared to season 31, that’s down by 16% in the demo and down by 2% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM).

The Thursday night episodes of the 32nd season of Dateline NBC averaged a 0.21 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.38 million viewers (includes 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.
