Ratings: Broadcast Finals for November 18, 2012
The American Music Awards may have been down year-to-year for ABC (12 million viewers, 4.3 demo rating), but it was still strong enough to finish second, to SNF, in every hour. 60 MINUTES did top it in total viewers (14 million), but CBS did have the NFL overrun to help boost the news magazine's ratings.Speaking of CBS, THE MENTALIST posted a season low, thanks to starting nearly one hour late on the Eastern and Central time zones. CBS needs to program these doubleheader Sundays without one of their programs airing, and schedule an encore at 7:30pm that you can then go to, "Already in progress." That would keep the night in check and increase the nightly average.
