Today show audience slips in national ratings
NBCs Today remains dominant in morning TV but faces a possible drop in viewers. Nielsen data show a decline from about 3.97 million homes during the 8:30 to 9 a.m. slot to around 3.13 million in late 1974 to early 1975, an apparent 21 percent fall. NBC counters that an American Research Bureau sweep indicated only an 8 percent dip, suggesting sampling differences rather than a true audience loss.
