Ratings: Broadcast Finals for August 12, 2013

The CMA MUSIC FEST: COUNTRY'S NIGHT TO ROCK drew 8.3 million viewers and a 2.0 rating in Adults 18-49, to help ABC win Monday night. The annual music special posted its best ratings ever, while on ABC.

Summer hit UNDER THE DOME took another hit, going up against the country music spcial. Collecting a series low 2.4 demo rating, it is down 8% in the the category, from last week and is down 14% over the last two weeks. Two strong, one night only programs, in successive weeks, has jarred the series, but once things calm down on ABC, I fully expect UNDER THE DOME to have a strong finish to its first season.

ABC - 8.3 million viewers, 2.0 rating in Adults 18-49

CBS - 6.2 million viewers, 1.5 rating in Adults 18-49
