ABC’s ‘CMA Fest’ Brings In 4.69 Million Viewers

August 5, 2019/by Jessica Nicholson

ABC’s CMA Fest led Sunday night (Aug. 4) in total viewers, with 4.69 million viewers tuning in across the show’s three-hour span, according to zap2it.com. CMA Fest earned the second-highest rating on the night, with a .8 rating in adults 18-49. The numbers were down slightly from the .9 rating and the 4.72 million that tuned in last year (in 2018, the show aired on a Wednesday).

This year’s show was hosted again by Thomas Rhett and Kelsea Ballerini, and featured an array of performances, including Carrie Underwood with Joan Jett, as well as a performance of “Old Town Road” from Lil Nas X, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Keith Urban.
