Final Broadcast Ratings: July 13, 2014

The ABC took full advantage of having the World Cup as it's primetime lead in. AFV posted numbers similar to original episodes, in the fall. WIPEOUT had it's best ratings of the season and by 9 p.m., RISING STAR was still feeling the effects and was up over last week. Not a bad way for ABC to end the week.

ABC easily took the A18-49 ratings with those strong summer numbers, while CBS was the most watched network. BIG BROTHER was the night's top program, getting 6.6 million viewers and a 2.2 demo rating. That is the best Sunday night numbers, for the series, so far this season.

CBS flipping UNFORGETTABLE and RECKLESS was a positive move. RECKLESS maintained it's demo numbers, form a week earlier, but rose in total viewers. Meanwhile, UNFORGETTABLE rose two tenths of a ratings point in the A18-49 ratings, and stayed flat in the viewership numbers.

NBC & FOX were non-factors on the night, as each was dominated with repeat programming.
