    "60 Minutes Presents," a compilation of revisited wildlife stories, also made the top five. 

    Meanwhile, cable viewers kept their eye on COVID-19 and the aftermath of police-related killings, with Fox News Channel once again the most-watched cable outlet, followed by MSNBC and CNN. 

    For the week, CBS averaged 3.8 million viewers and NBC was second with 3.3 million. ABC had 2.9 million viewers, Fox had 1.8 million, Univision had 1.4 million, ION Television had 1.2 million, Telemundo had 890,000 and CW had 610,000.

    Fox News averaged 3.2 million viewers for the week. MSNBC had 1.8 million, CNN had 1.6 million, HGTV had 1.3 million and TLC had 1.2 million.

    "World News Tonight" drew an average of 8.8 million viewers. NBC's "Nightly News" was second among the evening newscasts with a 7.7 million average, followed by the "CBS Evening News" with 5.4 million.
