Hosted by Emmy® Award-winning father-and-son duo Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, the 76th Emmy Awards on ABC drew 6.87 Million Total Viewers and a 1.02 rating in Adults 18-49, surging by double digits of +54% and +17%, respectively, over the 75th Emmy Awards on Fox (4.46 million and 0.87 rating, respectively, on 1/15/24). The 76th Emmy Awards telecast on ABC posted the award show’s largest overall audience in 3 years, since the show’s airing on CBS (9/19/21), which enjoyed an NFL football game lead-in. Sunday's show outperformed ABC's previous airing by +8% in Total Viewers (6.87 million vs. 6.39 million on 9/20/20). Despite facing substantial competition from NFL programming in local markets that included Chicago and Houston, ABC's eight Owned Television Stations saw a combined 2.56 million Total Viewers and 650,600 Adults 25-54, outdelivering the 75th Emmy Awards on Fox, by +68% and +23% respectively.
