Ratings Review: REVOLUTION (Spring 2013)

REVOLUTION is about as solid as a hit that NBC has had in a long time, even if its solely dependent on the lead in, THE VOICE. Outside of THE VOICE and SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, it was the only other NBC series that was regularly in the top 30 weekly ratings.

REVOLUTION usually was third in its time slot, in total viewers, but battled each week for the top spot in the A18-49 ratings. What really hurts the series is its poor retention levels (under 50% on most weeks) from THE VOICE.

For the spring season of the action drama, it pulled in an average of 6.05 million viewers and a 2.1 rating in Adults 18-49, for its ten episodes. Come next season, REVOLUTION will not have the comfy slot after THE VOICE, but will instead lead of Wednesdays nights. Can this series be successful against THE X-FACTOR, SURVIVOR and the new ABC series AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.?
