Ratings: Broadcast Finals for February 3, 2014

It was a very tight Monday night race as ABC and CBS virtually tied on the night in both viewers and in Adults 18-49. Both networks averaged 8.9 million viewers, but CBS had a 2.48 demo rating to ABC's 2.43 rating. Just five hundredths of a ratings point separated the two networks.

NBC pretty much packed it in for the night, airing a low rated SPORTS ILLUSTRATED special for two hours. It was the lowest rated program of the night, from the Big 4 networks.

FOX was up week-to-week, with the ALMOST HUMAN back in the line up, but THE FOLLOWING was down slightly from last week's time period premiere. I expect THE FOLLOWING to struggle a bit until BONES returns to Monday nights on March 10th.
