Ratings: Broadcast Finals for April 8, 2013

For the third straight night, CBS Dominates the ratings, this time it is with the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Game, featuring Louisville vs Michigan. The game drew 23.4 million viewers and a robust 8.4 rating in Adults 18-49. That is an increase of over 3.5 million viewers and 11% in the demo ratings from last year's championship game.

Also doing great last night was THE VOICE. It produced its best numbers of the season, 14 million viewers and a 5.0 demo rating. Needless to say, THE VOICE is having a great start to its spring season.

Not all was roses for NBC as REVOLUTION was flat from week-to-week, meaning it lost even MORE of the lead in from THE VOICE. Unless things change over the next 8 weeks, NBC may have another SMASH on its hands.

CBS - 18.3 million viewers, 6.4 rating in Adults 18-49.
