    “The Bachelor” Ends Season With Ratings High; Nielsen Week In Review

    NEW YORK (AP) --

    ABC's "The Bachelor" ended a season that had as much drama off the set as on with its most-watched episode of the year and final appearance of host Chris Harrison — at least for a while.

    The pre-taped season finale with Harrison reached 6.1 million viewers last Monday and the "After the Final Rose" special, hosted by Emmanuel Acho, was seen by 5.67 million, the Nielsen company said.

    Harrison was criticized last month for defending a contestant after she was seen in racially-insensitive pictures attending a plantation-themed ball in 2018. Harrison later apologized but it was announced he would be stepping away from the show for an undetermined period.

    It's not clear whether he will be back. Former bachelorettes Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe will host  the upcoming season of "The Bachelorette."

    Ratings for the most recent season of "The Bachelor," where Matt James was the franchise's first Black bachelor, have been down but ticked up in its last few episodes.

    James had selected contestant Rachael Kirkconnell, who had appeared in the plantation-themed pictures. During the "After the Final Rose" special, he revealed that he had broken up with her after the controversy came to light.

    It's tough to judge whether Harrison's absence had any impact on the "After the Final Rose" ratings, because ABC hadn't done one of those specials since 2018.

    CBS won the week in the ratings, with an average of 4.5 million viewers in primetime. NBC had 3.6 million, ABC had 3.4 million, Fox had 2 million, Univision had 1.4 million, Ion Television had 1.2 million and Telemundo had 1.1 million

    Fox News Channel led the cable rankings, averaging 2.23 million viewers. TBS had 1.88 million, MSNBC had 1.65 million, TNT had 1.41 million and HGTV had 1.2 million.

    ABC's "World News Tonight" led the evening news ratings race with an average of 8.7 million viewers, NBC's "Nightly News" had 7.1 million and the "CBS Evening News" had 5 million.

    For the week of March 15-21, the top 20 shows, their networks and viewerships:

    1. "NCIS," CBS, 9.99 million.
    2. "FBI," CBS, 8.08 million.
    3. "60 Minutes," CBS, 7.89 million.
    4. "The Voice" (Monday), NBC, 7.85 million.
    5. "Chicago Fire," NBC, 7.49 million.
    6. "Chicago Med," NBC, 7.1 million.
    7. "FBI: Most Wanted," CBS, 6.26 million.
    8. "Chicago PD," NBC, 6.22 million.
    9. "The Bachelor," ABC, 6.1 million.
    10. "The Bachelor: After the Final Rose," ABC, 5.67 million.
    11. "American Idol," ABC, 5.64 million.
    12. "The Neighborhood," CBS, 5.39 million.
    13. "The Masked Singer," Fox, 5.13 million.
    14. "Bull," CBS, 5.123 million.
    15. "America's Funniest Home Videos," ABC, 5.122 million.
    16. "Station 19," ABC, 5.106 million.
    17. "Bob Hearts Abishola," CBS, 5.105 million.
    18. "This is Us," NBC, 5.01 million.
    19. "Grey's Anatomy," ABC, 4.99 million.
    20. NCAA Men's Basketball: Wisconsin vs. North Carolina, CBS, 4.44 million.

    How Prime Video’s “Burn Bar” is changing the way we watch NASCAR

    Saturday, June 14, 2025
    In this screen shot from Prime Video broadcast released by Prime Video, The "Burn Bar," lower left, is used to measure Ryan Blaney's performance during a NASCAR on Prime broadcast of a NASCAR Cup Series auto race from Lebanon, Tennessee, on June 1, 2025. The AI tool was developed by Prime Video to measure a car's burn rate and fuel levels. (Prime Video via AP)

    NASCAR fans have grown accustomed to seeing speed, throttle and braking on broadcasts for years. There has been one measurement, though, that has eluded networks and viewers for years.

    Until now.

    Viewers of the Prime Video races have been able to see fuel usage with the introduction of the Burn Bar. Race teams have measured burn rates and fuel levels down to the last ounce for years, but the methodology has been kept secret for competitive reasons.

    Prime Video, though, developed an AI tool using car data available to broadcasters and teams that can measure miles per gallon. The Burn Bar made a brief appearance during Prime's first broadcast, the Coca-Cola 600 on May 25. It has been used more frequently the past two weeks and will be deployed again on Sunday during the race in Mexico City.

    NASCAR on Prime analyst Steve Letarte, a former crew chief for Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr., contributed to the development of the Burn Bar and sees it as the first step in taking race analysis to a new level.

    "It's the first true tool that is taking information off the car, making calculations and then displaying to the fan a calculation or measurement that is being used in the garage. And it does affect the team," he said. "There's not a sensor on the car giving us miles per gallon. It's a mathematical calculation of other cars performances."

    The AI model analyzes thousands of performance data per second, including a range of in-car telemetry signals, RPMs, throttle and optical tracking of each car's position. The model then evaluates each driver's fuel consumption and efficiency throughout the race.

    Letarte worked with Prime Video "Thursday Night Football Prime Vision" analyst Sam Schwartzstein and Amazon Web Services... Read More
