‘Live With Kelly and Ryan’ Season Premiere Scores Best Demo Rating Since Relaunch

Ryan Seacrest seems to suit Kelly Ripa just fine.

The new-ish duo’s “Live With Kelly and Ryan” season premiere just tied this version of the syndicated talker’s highest rating (a 1.1) ever among women 25-54. That group is daytime television’s key demographic for advertisers.

“Live With Kelly and Ryan” technically launched in May.

Additionally, Tuesday’s “Live” kicked off the 2017-18 season with a 2.4 in Nielsen’s household rating, which is a three-month high in those 56 metered markets, and was good enough to beat the season premiere of “Ellen” (a 2.3).
