Ratings: Broadcast Finals for September 19, 2012
Only four programs aired original episodes and they were all reality competition series. Leading the pack in total viewers was veteran SURVIVOR: PHILIPPINES with its season premiere. It drew 11.4 million viewers and a solid 3.2 rating in Adults 18-49. That led into the season finale of BIG BROTHER.Even though BIG BROTHER lost 35% of the audience and 22% in the demo. Usually there is concern with low retention like that, but that is the difference between the Big Boys of the regular season and those that air during the summer.
THE X-FACTOR did lead the night in the A18-49 ratings, with a 3.6, but was second to SURVIVOR in total viewers. XF will deliver ratings for FOX this fall, but don't expect it to be a ratings leader.
The final original program of the night was OH SIT! For the CW, the ratings was decent. it is really hard to say if the game show will see a second season or not, but the CW should look at the genre closer for future programming during the off season.
