Ratings: Broadcast Finals for February 26, 2013
The season premier to CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP did decent for ABC, grabbing over 7 million viewers and a solid 2.4 rating in Adults 18-49. That is about 50% more viewers, in each category, to tune in at 8:00 p.m. from last week. CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP is the stronger show and THE TASTE may be done after one season. Rounding out ABC, both THE TASTE (9 p.m.) and BODY OF PROOF (10 p.m.) were flat fro last week. But, BOP did grow 55% from its new lead in.CBS also had a premiere on the night. GOLDEN BOY had its season premiere on a special night, following the two NCIS series. However, the ratings were not very special. Losing 38% of all audiences, the 10.6 million viewers is on par with what VEGAS brings in. But, on a positive, the 1.8 demo rating was up nearly 30% from last week.
Week two of the CW's CULT is very much like week one. Only about 800,000 viewers tuned in. It may not be a strong rating, but those that watched last week, apparently like what they saw and came back for seconds. But, like THE TASTE, it will not see a second season.
- The 0.6 demo rating by HART OF DIXIE is on track to be 4th best on the CW. Good sign for renewal.
- The 2.6 million viewers THE NEW NORMAL collected is down 6% from last wee's total.
For the Night:
CBS - 16.1 million viewers, 2.7 rating in Adults 18-49.
ABC - 5.8 million viewers, 1.7 rating in Adults 18-49.
FOX - 3.6 million viewers, 1.7 rating in Adults 18-49.
