NBC NIGHTLY NEWS OVERTAKES ABC'S WORLD NEWS

NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams remained the most-watched network evening newscast during the second quarter, averaging 8 million viewers each night, according to Nielsen Media Research. It edged out ABC's World News With Charles Gibson , which recorded 7.8 million viewers. Last year, the order was reversed. Meanwhile CBS Evening News With Katie Couric continued to lose viewers, averaging 5.6 million, down 528,000 viewers from the same quarter a year ago. If Couric was feeling depressed by the latest ratings news, they may have been lifted by the announcement that the Radio-Television News Directors Association had awarded her program the Edward R. Murrow Award for best newscast.
