ESPY Ratings Triple on Move to ABC, Caitlyn Jenner Award Speech
Posted in: Uncategorized
The ESPYs more than tripled preliminary TV ratings from a year earlier, moving to ABC from ESPN as awards given to Caitlyn Jenner and pediatric cancer survivor Leah Still highlighted the show.
The annual sports award show was seen Wednesday in an average of 6% of homes in 56 of the top U.S. TV markets, Walt Disney Co.’s ABC said in a statement. The show aired on Disney’s ESPN in previous years.
With Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game held Tuesday, the days after are the only ones each year in which none of the four major U.S. team sports are in action, helping bring attention to the ESPYs.
