Final Broadcast Ratings: December 14, 2014

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL posted great ratings, on Sunday night, commanding 24.3 million viewers and a 8.6 rating in Adults 18-49. The game is the second most watched game of the season, behind the Thursday night Kick-off game, and is the 4th highest A18-49 rating of the season. Put two high profile teams, playing a close, but high scoring game, and the ratings will come.

Barbara Walters had her annual 10 MOST FASCINATING PEOPLE of the year program and the ratings were just so-so. The 7.8 million viewers and 1.4 demo rating is better than the regular programs, and still beat CBS, but viewers are caring less about this type of program, as the years progress. Compared to last year's show, the ratings are down 1.1 million viewers and lost 36% in the demo ratings. Hopefully, Barbara will stay in retirement, in 2015.

CBS and FOX had typical nights for their programming. UNDERCOVER BOSS did perk up the 8 p.m. hour, grabbing a better demo rating than a typical episode of MADAME SECRETARY. But, THE MENTALIST and CSI came in with ratings that were expected to come in.
