CBS MORNINGS was the #1 morning news program with viewers on Feb. 12, 2024, marking the first time in the show’s history that it beat “Good Morning America” and “Today” on the same day.

This is only the second time in CBS history that a morning news program finished #1 in viewers.

“What Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil, Nate Burleson, Vlad Duthiers and the entire CBS MORNINGS team do every single weekday is create a show that makes the audience think, question, laugh and feel,” said Shawna Thomas, executive producer of CBS MORNINGS. “We have seen the chemistry of the on-air talent and our approach to the news work, and the entire team knew that Monday was an opportunity for even more people to experience what we have to offer. The team came correct, and we will keep doing that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 7:00 AM on CBS.”

On Monday, CBSM beat “Today” by +49,000 (2.86m) and “Good Morning America” by +7,000 in viewers (2.9m). In A25-54, CBSM beat “Good Morning America” by +103,000 (551,000), marking the sixth time this season the CBS morning show topped ABC’s morning show. The win was the latest ratings milestone for CBS MORNINGS, which also has beaten the ABC program for three weeks with men 25-54 this season.

The broadcast, which aired the day after CBS’ record-breaking coverage of Super Bowl LVIII, was hosted by Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil and Vlad Duthiers in New York, and Nate Burleson from Las Vegas, the site of Super Bowl LVIII. The broadcast delivered 2.90 million viewers, with 654,000 of them in the key adult 25-54 demographic. Monday marked CBS MORNINGS’ largest audience and A25-54 performance since Feb 4, 2022.

CBS MORNINGS cut the gap in viewers with “Good Morning America” to the smallest margin since the 2017/2018 season and has the tightest margin in A25-54 ever.
