The 100 highest-rated TV programs of 2017: 60% sports, 40% everything else

DECEMBER 28, 2017

Sports media has been abuzz for most of the NFL season about how ratings for the league’s games are down. It’s true; on the whole, the NFL’s TV audience has declined by about 9 percent this season.

What’s also true is that drop mirrors the overall drop in ratings among broadcast networks this fall vs. last. The NFL is still the biggest TV game in town by a long shot: 44 of the 100 (or 103, including a few ties) highest-rated primetime telecasts of the year were NFL games.

Include other sports, and the number grows to 62. Entertainment shows make up the minority of the highest-rated programs.

As was the case last year, the Oscar broadcast (9.1 rating) was the No. 1 non-sports show; it tied for fifth overall. Next came the Grammy Awards in 11th place with a 7.8.


All ratings below are live + same-day; sports pre- and post-game shows aren’t included in the list.

Most people like myself are taking to shows on demand! I am pretty much binge-watching 4-6 episodes at a time and many times without commercials. I very frequently schedule a TV program to watch anymore. Just so convenient and pleasurable to watch a group of episodes at once!
