Final Broadcast Ratings: June 15, 2014

ABC dominated the Sunday ratings, as the NBA closed it's season with the last game of the 2014 NBA FINALS. It was the best ratings the series has received and topped last year's game 5.

ABC was the only network that tried to grab viewers on the night, it is the only network really worth mentioning in this blog post. The numbers show that 18.0 million viewers and a 6.8 demo rating, tuned into watch San Antonio capture their fifth NBA Championship, in the last 15 years. The Spurs put on yet another butt woppin' to the Heat, with a commanding 17pt margin of victory for the decisive game.

Just to note that NBC did give us two burn-off episodes of the Sunday mid-season dramas. Both shows underwhelmed the ratings, barely beating the repeat offerings from CBS.
