Ratings: Broadcast Finals for November 2, 2013

ABC easily takes Saturday night with a high profile matchup in Saturday's college football game, featuring Florida vs Florida St. The game collected 8.4 million viewers and a 2.8 rating in Adults 18-49. It is the highest rated program, in A18-49 ratings, of all programs from the low rated Friday and Saturday nights. It is also ABC's second highest rated program of the week, in the demographic numbers, with just SCANDAL topping it.

FOX had no traction with its college football game, getting the usual sub-three million viewers.

CBS came in second on the night with its combination of encores and a new 48 HOURS. The 10 p.m. newsmagazine posted its best numbers of the season.

NBC was out of the hourserace, ironically, with its coverage of the 2013 BREEDERS CUP to kick-off the night. It was the second lowest rated program of the night, topping only a repeat of THE BLACKLIST, which followed it on NBC.
