Final Broadcast Ratings: December 19, 2014

The season finale of THE AMAZING RACE drew its best numbers of the season and won its 8 p.m. time slot. Grabbing nearly 6.6 million viewers and a 1.3 demo rating, THE AMAZING RACE is up 600k in total viewers and up a tent in the demo, over last week's numbers.

Following TAR, was the HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS SPECIAL and totally dropped the audience that was generated at 8 p.m. Retention was well under 50%, in both categories and killed any momentum the network may have had.

A two hour DATELINE pushed NBC to sweep the night in the ratings, as the newsmagazine grabbed the most viewers (6.8 million) and tied THE AMAZING RACE for the top number in the demo. The special CAUGHT ON CAMERA did mediocre numbers, barely topping the comedy rerun on ABC.
