Ratings: Broadcast Finals for December 21, 2012
Twas the Friday before Christmas and through the house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a TV viewer.As expected, Friday night was low viewer turnout. Just a single program over 5 million viewers and only two with a 1.0 demo rating or above. Ratings were so low that The CW didn't even look out of place with the other 4 networks.
Enjoy the holidays and enjoy your Holiday marathons!
