The live NBC telecast of the 70th Emmy Awards Monday night brought in 10.17 million viewers, an “all-time low” and a 10 percent decrease from last year. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the previous low was when ABC hosted the broadcast in 2016, and only 11.3 million individuals tuned in. Despite the new low, the Emmys have fared better than other awards shows. Viewership of the 2018 Oscars was 16 percent lower than the previous year, and the 2018 Grammys also saw a 20-percent ratings dip.
