Primetime Emmy viewership down
Lots of Emmy viewers, just not as many as last year
Viewership for the 2011 Primetime Emmy Awards fell 8 percent from last year to just over 12 million viewers, Reuters reports. According to preliminary viewing figures from Nielsen, 12.4 million people watched the three-hour, Jane Lynch-hosted show, down from 13.5 million last year when the Emmys were moved to late August to avoid competition from Sunday Night Football. If the early results hold up, that would make Sunday's Emmys on Fox one of the least-viewed telecasts of the past five years. In 2008, 12.2 million viewers tuned in.
