Ratings: Broadcast Finals for August 3, 2013

You know its is a horrible Saturday night when just three programs can attract more than three million viewers. And all three of those programs where repeat episodes. The worst programs of the night was the FOX coverage of the GUINNESS CHAMPIONS CUP semi-final. The 20 minute pre game drew 600k in viewers, while the game itself could only muster one million viewers.

ZERO HOUR called it a series with back-to-back episodes, neither of which had the ability to draw in two million viewers. Out side of the soccer pre-game on FOX, these were the two worst rated programs of the night, in the A18-49 ratings.


The least watch program, outside of soccer, goes to NBC's DO NO HARM. 1.6 million viewers had nothing else better to do than watch another episode of this series.

We will only have to endure three more Saturdays before ABC gives us the 2013 Saturday night college football game of the week, and start generating some half-way decent ratings for the night.
