Ratings: Broadcast Finals for October 6, 2013
With a 45 minute overrun of an action packed NFL game between the Broncos and the Cowboys, CBS gave a NBC a good run for its ratings on Sunday night. CBS was within 1/2 million viewers of NBC, despite the peacock network airing three hours of its SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. Of course, it did help that Sunday Night game, between the Texans and 49ers, was the lowest rated of the season. Week-toweek, the game was down nearly three million viewers and 8% in the A18-49 ratings. Next week's Cowboys vs Redskins game should help rebound the ratings.THE SIMPSONS had a worse lead in this week, but rose in the ratings. The annual Halloween special collected 6.4 million viewers and a 3.0 demo rating. Slightly better than last week. This is also the second straight week THE SIMPSONS has beat FAMILY GUY, which had been the top dog of the Animation Domination block in recent years.
On ABC, ONCE UPON A TIME stayed mostly even from last week, but REVENGE (-16%) and BETRAYAL (-26%) took big hits in the ratings. A death watch in now official for BETRAYAL.
Obviously, 60 MINUTES had a nice bump with the NFL as a lead in, but the effect lasted to THE AMAZING RACE and even THE GOOD WIFE. TAR was up about 1.5 million viewers and 30% in the demo ratings. THE GOOD WIFE was up a few hundred thousand viewers and one tenth of a ratings point in the demo.
