Ratings: Broadcast Finals for July 8, 2013

Week three of the CBS summer series UNDER THE DOME performed very well, becoming the #1 program of the night. DOME drew a whopping 10.7 million viewers and a very solid 2.7 rating in Adults 18-49. Since the series premiere, the ratings have dropped just 21% in total viewership and 18%  in the A18-49 ratings. Well within acceptable ranges for any new series.

NBC gave us another new reality series, this time it is Bear Grylis headlining the series. Sandwiched in between two other reality series, GET OUT ALIVE drew 4.2 million viewers and a 1.5 rating in Adults 18-49. Not a horrible number for a summer series, but above average. However, even with normal drops in the ratings for a second episode, the series may fall behind the CBS comedies, for 3rd place in the 9 p.m. hour.

ABC tied CBS for the top A18-49 ratings on the night, thanks two two hours of THE BACHELORETTE.  The 6.81 million viewers and 1.9 demo rating are up from last week. Even the 10  p.m. drama MISTRESSES saw a bump upward in their numbers.

ABC - 5.9 million viewers, 1.7 rating in Adults 18-49.

CBS - 6.5 million viewers, 1.7 rating in Adults 18-49.
