“When we first launched Dateline in syndication six years ago, it was primarily scheduled as a utility program on various types of stations airing in a wide variety of time periods, but this has evolved,” Sean O’Boyle, EVP of Syndication Sales, NBCUniversal Syndication Studios said in a statement.
“Dateline is now a proven success in syndication and has become a key program airing in daytime on mostly traditional affiliated broadcast stations. Dateline is one of the most successful programs in all of daytime, and the ratings continue to grow, as does the station lineup,” he added.
According to NBCU and Nielsen, in syndication, the series has an average of 1.6 million daily viewers, has had a +21% year-over-year increase in audience and currently ranks as one of the top five one-hour Monday–Friday shows in syndication.
With 31 seasons under its belt, Dateline NBC is the longest-running program in NBC primetime history. Lester Holt hosts Dateline, which also includes Andrea Canning, Josh Mankiewicz, Keith Morrison, and Dennis Murphy as correspondents.
