Nielsen’s recount for ABC’s “World News” last week has boosted the show’s audience by about 800,000 viewers.
Nielsen had originally said Tuesday that ABC’s newscast averaged 6.2 million viewers. But the company did a recount after ABC disputed the original figures and said Wednesday that “World News” averaged 6.99 million viewers for the week of June 8.
It was the runner-up to NBC’s “Nightly News,” which had 8.27 million viewers. “CBS Evening News,” with 5.4 million viewers, was third.
