Final Broadcast Ratings: July 7, 2014

It was a very competitive Monday night, between the Big 4 networks, but FOX edges it out to sweep the night in both viewers and young demographic ratings.

Starting off the night for FOX was MASTERCHEF, the night's top show in the A18-49 ratings, with a 20 score. That topthe previous week's numbers and marking a season high. The series is hitting it's stride and should be a consisten winner until the end of the season.

THE BACHELORETTE, it must be getting close to the season finale as this is the second straight week the A18-49 ratings rose from the previous week. The series seems to lag in the ratings until it is "final rose" time. The show was the most watched program, between 8 and 10 p.m.

MISTRESSES was the only program, from the BIG four to not score a demo rating of at least a 1.0 and/or collect at least four million viewers.

UNDER THE DOME took a bit of a hit, in week two. viewership is down 1.7 million and the A18-49 ratings is off by 19%. If fans from the first season had the same reaction I did for the season premiere, last week, which was bad, ratings will fall hard this summer.

BEAUTY & THE BEAST called is a season, on the CW. The finale drew under 800,000 viewers, about what it has been averaging for this short, summer run. I am sure... the CW is "happy" with the series as it will be back for a 3rd season.
