Ratings: Broadcast Finals for June 16, 2013

The NBA FINALS continues to roll over all the competition despite being down 6% in the A18-49 ratings. Viewership was even from the Thursday night game. Tonight's June 18th game could be the last of the series if the Spurs can place back-to-back losses on the Heat. Something that has not been done to the defending NBA champions, for a few months.

NBC televised the 2013 MISS USA Pageant and not many cared to tune in. Between the large numbers the NBA FINALS are pulling and the general decline of the beauty pageants, in general, makes you wonder why NBC continues to keep the rights to the franchise. Since the popularity and rise of the internet, 15+ years ago, pageant have seen massive erosions in their ratings. It is time to do away with such out of date programming.
