Preliminary Ratings: Monday 06/30/14

CBS and FOX battled it out for the top spot of Monday's ratings. CBS has the clear lead in total viewers, but FOX has the edge with the A18-49 ratings. But, CBS does have the #1 show of the night, with the season premiere of UNDER THE DOME.

DOME hauled in 9.4 million viewers and a 2.2 rating in Adults 18-49. Comparing the season two opener with last year's series premiere, DOME is off by four million viewers and 33% in the A18-49 ratings. It is also off from the first season's average of a 2.7 demo rating and 11.2 million viewers. Not a great return for the series, but still a strong number for the summer.

Doing better, despite the new 10 p.m. entry, was MISTRESSES. The second year drama rose a half million viewers and 10%, over last weeks ratings.

MASTERCHEF posted it's season best in the demo ratings, posting a 1.9 score. It helped push FOX ahead of CBS, despite special airings of THE BIG BANG THEORY and the DOME premiere.
