Ratings: Broadcast Finals for June 21, 2012

Game 5 of the NBA Finals capped off a very successful series for ABC. Nearly 18.5 million viewers watched the title clinching game by the Miami Heat. The only down side for ABC is that the series didn't go 7 games.

TAKE ME OUT and THE CHOICE are falling to drama encore levels for FOX. Will either make it to a full run?

Pathetic NBC completely bombed despite having three hours of original programming. Just a 3.1 milion viewer average and a small 0.7 demo rating for the night. The Bieber special should have been on Disney or Nickelodeon, not a broadcast network.
