    By Andrew Dalton, Entertainment Writer

    LOS ANGELES (AP) --

    A special airing of "Black Panther" in the wake of the death of star Chadwick Boseman was a bright spot for the broadcast networks in a ratings week otherwise utterly dominated by Fox News Channel's coverage of the Republican National Convention. 

    ABC's last-minute scheduling Sunday night of the Disney and Marvel film about the African superhero drew 6.27 million viewers two days after Boseman died of colon cancer at age 43. 

    An accompanying tribute to Boseman brought nearly 5 million viewers and was fifth among broadcast shows for the week, the Nielsen company said Tuesday. 

    But the week overall belonged to Fox News, which had nine of the top 10 and 14 of the top 20 primetime shows. 

    At No. 1 was Thursday night's airing of the convention and the nomination acceptance speech of President Donald Trump, which drew 9 million viewers. Fox News' Tuesday night convention coverage was second with nearly 8 million. 

    And the channel's convention-connected airings of "Hannity" filled out the rest of the top five. 

    The RNC also gave major bumps to the nightly shows of Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham. 

    Fox News Channel was easily the most watched network, cable or broadcast, of the week with an average of 5.1 million viewers in primetime. 

    NBC was the most popular broadcast network, averaging 2.77 million viewers in primetime. ABC had 2.75 million, CBS had 2.4 million, ION Television had 1.3 million, Univision had 1.2 million Fox had 1.1 million and Telemundo had 1 million.

    Among other cable networks, MSNBC was second with 1.5 million average viewers, CNN had 1.47 million, HGTV had 1.4 million and TLC had 1.2 million.

    ABC's "World News Tonight" led the network evening news ratings race, averaging 8.7 million viewers. NBC's "Nightly News" had 7.2 million, and the "CBS Evening News" had 5.2 million.

    For the week of Aug. 24-30, the top 20 programs, their networks and viewerships:

    1. "Republican National Convention" (Thursday), Fox News, 9 million.
    2. "Republican National Convention" (Tuesday), Fox News, 7.9 million.

    7. "Republican National Convention" (Wednesday), Fox News, 6.9 million.
    8. "Hannity" (Monday), Fox News, 6.85 million.
    9. "Tucker Carlson Tonight" (Thursday), Fox News, 6.28 million.
    10. "Black Panther," ABC, 6.27 million.

    15. "America's Got Talent" (Tuesday) NBC, 5.6 million.
    16. "America's Got Talent" (Wednesday) NBC, 5 million.

    Director And Emmy Award Winner Nick Nanton And Abundance Studios Announce The Streaming Release of “BRISA”

    Nick Nanton (Dickie V, The Truth About Reading, Operation Toussaint), Abundance Studios, and Astonish Entertainment announce the International streaming release of BRISA, a powerful and gripping documentary about Brisa De Angulo Losada’s fight as a survivor and advocate against childhood abuse and sexual violence. BRISA can be seen on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and Doc+. Her decades-long pursuit led to a landmark case at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, reshaping the legal landscape across Latin America. Directed by 24-time Emmy winner Nick Nanton, BRISA features Brisa de Angulo Losada and Gloria Estefan. Out of 700 submissions from over 77 countries, the film was shortlisted in the top 20 for the IDA documentary awards. Brisa de Angulo Losada, a survivor and fierce advocate for victims of childhood sexual violence, pursued justice for decades, taking her case all the way to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights after Bolivia’s legal system failed her. After she was assaulted at the age of 15 by a male family member, Brisa's rights were repeatedly trampled on throughout the ensuing judicial process, compelling her to go to law school, and ultimately ensuring no one else experiences what she did. While attending Rutgers Law School, she chose to represent herself and courageously shed anonymity by rejecting a “Jane Doe” case, instead choosing to use her name and thereby empowering other survivors to reclaim their identities. Her fight resulted in a groundbreaking 2023 ruling that reformed laws in 23 Latin American countries. Through her humanitarian efforts, she has supported more than 2,600 victims and families in navigating the court system to seek justice against their abusers, even as her own abuser remains on Interpol's red list as Colombia...
