Ratings: Broadcast Finals for December 9, 2013

NBC posts an easy victory as three of the five networks were either in repeats or holiday specials, for most of their schedules.

THE VOICE, now just one hour, is picking up a little steam grabbing 13.2 million viewers and a 3.5 demo rating. It is one of it's best nights in weeks, but no where near it's levels from September and early October.

Following THE VOICE is the holiday competition series THE SING-OFF. The two hour premiere hauled in 8.4 million viewers, or about 64% of the audience from THE VOICE stuck around for two more hours of singing.

FOX was all original on Monday night, and ALMOST HUMAN stopped the bleeding by posting it's first gain in the ratings since it's premiere. Week-to-week gains were 3% in viewers and 6% in the A18-49 ratings. It is not great, but a reversal of the sliding ratings is a positive sign.
 
ABC premiered their new holiday themed limited series THE GREAT CHRISTMAS LIGHT FIGHT to so-so ratings. The premiere finished fourth in the hour.
