Ratings: Broadcast Finals for November 24, 2013

Another game with Peyton Manning, another great performance by SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. It was billed as a rivalry game with Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, but it is Manning that draws the viewers. The four best A18-49 ratings SNF has earned have all been games with Peyton Manning. He is the best QB in the league and, perhaps the best of all-time. Viewers tune in when he is on a national stage.

The AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS posted it best numbers in years, with 13.1 million viewers and a 4.5 rating in Adults 18-49. It is the best Sunday night ABC has hard all season and should give boost to the network in the weekly network ratings.

FOX's animation block posted normal numbers, out of a NFL Overrun Sunday. THE SIMPSONS tops the four 'toons with 6.7 million viewers and a 3.0 demo rating. The death of a family member on FAMILY GUY apparently did not spark any interest in viewers.

CBS ran third in viewers on the night, but 4th in the A18-49 ratings. The only think of note was THE MENTALIST rising over last week's ratings by 1.2 million viewers and 14% in the A18-49 ratings. It is two straight weeks the series has aired during its regular time frame, and CBS is rewarded with good numbers from the series.
