Final Broadcast Ratings: November 25, 2014

ABC ruled the airwaves on Tuesday night as a resurrected DANCING WITH THE STARS rose to the occasion of crowning its new champion, with the best ratings of the season. 16.0 million viewers and a 3.0 rating in Adults 18-49, tuned in to see who the new king/queen of celebrity dancing will be. Year-to-year, DWTS is up over one million viewers and grew 25% in the demo ratings. Although I do not watch DWTS, it is refreshing to see a series grow through a season and end on a high note.

CBS was the #2 network on the night, with a solid performance in all three hours. PERSON OF INTEREST topped CHICAGO FIRE by more than 50% in total viewers and topped CHICAGO FIRE, in the A18-49 ratings, for the first time this season.

NBC was relegated to a distant third place in both total viewers and in the A18-49 demographic. This is the lowest rated Tuesday night for NBC, this season. THE VOICE tied a season low for the Tuesday night edition and CHICAGO FIRE dropped a half a point (-24%) in the demo, from last week. The comedies are toast and are just occupying space until their episode commitment is done.

The CW and FOX battled it out for the #4 spot, with FOX edging ahead for the spot. THE FLASH was edged out of the #4 spot by MASTERCHEF JR. by just one tenth of a point. It might be fun to see how FOX does against the CW, once encores hit in December.

ABC - 14.4 million viewers, 2.6 rating in A18-49
