Ratings: Broadcast Finals for December 10, 2013

With two of it's three crime dramas back in originals, and some sexy ladies, CBS easily takes Tuesday night in the ratings. A night that was dominated by NBC for most of the 2013 fall season.

Filling in for PERSON OF INTEREST, the annual VICTORIA'S SECRETS FASHION SHOW drew the night's best A18-49 rating, grabbing a 3.4 score along with 9.7 million viewers. That is a gain of about 3% from last year's fashion show.

Earlier, NCIS kicked of the night with the usual 19.3 million viewers and 2.9 rating in Adults 18-49, dominating the hour. NCIS: LA did it's job keeping 15.2 million viewers, tops for the 9 p.m. hour. NCIS: LA was second in the hour, just 23% behind THE VOICE, in the A18-49 demographic ratings.

NBC was the #2 network on the night with solid performances from all three programs. CHICAGO FIRE draws it's largest audience ever when 9.3 million viewers tuned into the episode at 9 p.m. But FIRE only even in the demo rating, from last week's episode, despite an increase of 1.1 million viewers. Did the older viewers of PERSON OF INTEREST tune in to the sophomore series?

THE VOICE killed it's momentum towards the season finale. The 3.1 rating in Adults 18-49 is a season low. Not a good sign as the season finale of THE VOICE is just a week away.

Over on ABC, the surge in the ratings by AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. two weeks ago, did not continue.  The series hauled in just 6.1 million viewers and a 2.1 demo rating. The losses from that previous original episode, two weeks earlier is 37% in viewers and 19% in the A18-49 numbers (9.69 - 2.6). Tuesday's episode is a series low for the series.

Country magic did not hit FOX, as the network presented the American Country Awards. Just 5.1 million viewers and a 1.4 demographic rating was all that FOX could muster. Just one month earlier, ABC aired the Country Music Awards and drew 16.8 million viewers and a solid 4.7 demo rating.
