Despite the decline in total viewers, the key 18–49 demographic delivered a major improvement. The February 28 episode posted a 0.24 rating in the demo, climbing significantly from the 0.07 rating recorded a week earlier. That represents a notable gain of 0.17 in the category most valued by advertisers.
Looking at the broader picture, year-over-year figures present a different story. The same period in 2025 saw the program draw 280,000 viewers and a 0.06 demo rating. Compared to that performance, the latest broadcast reflects a 30.4 percent increase in viewership and a 300 percent improvement in the demo.
Average performance for 2026 shows the show maintaining roughly 400,000 viewers per episode so far this year. The February 28 broadcast finished slightly below that pace, landing about 8.8 percent under the current yearly average.
Monthly and rolling averages also highlight the drop. February’s average audience reached about 446,000 viewers, placing the latest episode down by more than 80,000 viewers compared with the month’s overall pace.
Historical numbers across the past twelve months reveal the program’s wide range of performance. The highest audience during that stretch reached 707,000 viewers in late April 2025, while the lowest reached 184,000 viewers in September of the same year.
Recent weekly trends also illustrate fluctuating momentum for the program. February 14 delivered the month’s strongest performance with 561,000 viewers, followed by a slide over the next two weeks before landing at 365,000 for the February 28 broadcast.
