Ratings: Broadcast Finals for December 16, 2013

NBC was the #1 network of Monday night, but it is not a good as you would think.

The last Monday night edition of this cycle of THE VOICE drew just 12.7 million viewer and a 3.3 rating in Adults 18-49. That is a loss of 1/2 million viewers and down 6% in the A18-49 ratings. This is for the first of a two part finale to crown a champion, and previous viewers are not sticking around to finish the cycle out. Very anticlimactic.

THE SING OFF was also down from last week, now just one hour long. The limited series dropped 1.2 million viewers over the course of one week. It's only decent rated episodes are those following THE VOICE, and wee are seeing that it is not finishing the season strong.

One series that is building towards it's ending is CBS' HOSTAGES. Yes, the ratings are low and have been for most of the series run, but... for the second week in a row, it has increased it's total viewership. It also posted it's best A18-49 rating since just before Halloween. If this trend continues, could we see CBS renew the series for a possible summer run?

ALMOST HUMAN on FOX we on it's own for the first time and pulled in it's lowest numbers of it's short life. Part could be from the competition in the hour, but not having SLEEPY HOLLOW on the back end may have pulled viewers away from FOX, for the whole night.

ABC was pretty much a non-factor. The holiday specials drew minimal interest and the limited series THE GREAT CHRISTMAS LIGHT FIGHT is doing only slightly better than holiday specials on FOX.
