Ratings: Broadcast Finals for September 2, 2013

As we approach the end of the season NBC has one show that is growing nicely as the season ender is near. AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR drew 5.6 million viewers and a 1.8 rating in Adults 18-49. Over the last two weeks, the series has jumped up 20% in the demo ratings and 14% in total viewers.

Following NINJA WARRIOR was the freshmen series SIBERIA, and despite having a stronger lead in, the ratings for the show are almost nonexistant. SIBERIA lost nearly 70% of its lead in audience and  77% in the A18-49 ratings. Not sure why NBC has stuck with this ratings challenged series, but the end can not come soon enough for it.

MISTRESSES should have moved to 9 p.m. long ago. Since the move to the earlier time period, the ratings have grown 30-40 percent. It is also perplexing since THE BACHELORETTE should have been the more compatible lead in, but SHARK TANK's move to mondays has been the juice MISTRESSES needed.
