Ratings: Broadcast Finals for October 21, 2012
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL posted its lowest numbers of the season with just 14.5 million viewers and a 6.7 rating in A18-49. The match up was not as exciting as recent weeks, plus FOX had GAME #6 of the NLCS.THE NLCS was the highest rated yet of the series with 7.6 million viewers and a 2.2 demo rating. This is almost the exact rating FOX generated in last year's ALCS Game 6, on a Saturday night.
ABC's night (8pm - 10pm) was up from the previous week in either total viewers and/or demo ratings. REVENGE saw a 500,000 viewer increase, while ONCE UPON A TIME jumped 10% in the demo ratings.
CBS did well on the night, thanks to an hour overrun of the second game of the NFL doubleheader. However, by the time THE MENTALIST came on at just before 11:00pm, viewers hit the bed and, more than likely, DVRed the drama. We'll see if there is a spike in the LIVE+7 numbers for this week & THE MENTALIST.
