The 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards ceremony enjoyed a year-over-year gain in adults 18-49 and overall viewership.
This year’s show gave those gains back — and then some.
According to live+same-day data posted by Showbuzz, Sunday’s initial airing drew a combined 0.72 rating and 1.69 million in overall viewership across TNT, TBS and TruTV**.
Last year’s ceremony drew a 1.15 rating and 2.86 million viewers across the three networks. The 2016 edition, which was the first to air on cable, drew a 0.88 rating and 2.12 million.
From a live+same-day standpoint, the 2018 edition therefore ranks as the least-watched installment yet.
