Ratings: Broadcast Finals for August 18, 2013

BIG BROTHER did just edge out the NFL game as the #1 program of the night. Averaging about 10,000 more viewers, along with the same 2.1 demo ratings, the reality dropped 9% in viewers and 12% in the A18-49 ratings, from last Sunday's episode.

On FOX, the NFL pushes it to the top of the nightly ratings as game coverage pulled in 6.5 million viewers and a 2.1 rating in Adults 18-49. That is about two million more viewers and 40% more in the demo ratings, from Friday night's game coverage.

WHO DUNNIT? called it a season/series on a high note as it drew one of its best numbers of the season, 3.6 million viewers and a 1.4 demo rating. The A18-49 rating was a series high.

Not doing as well for its season/series finale was NBC's CROSSING LINES. the two hour ender collected just 2.1 million viewers and a 0.4 rating in Adults 18-49. Down from last week by 20% in the demo and viewership.
