Ratings for the Emmy Awards on Sunday improved a good amount on last year's numbers, thanks in no small part to a big lead-in from a late-afternoon NFL game on CBS.
The Emmys, which aired live across the country, are currently up 30% by about 4 million viewers to 15.3 million and more than a point in adults 18-49 (4.3) vs. last year's awards. The numbers will change some in the final nationals, but they will finish ahead of 2012.
