Preliminary Ratings: Tuesday 12/30/14

CBS was the only network with any original programming, so it had an easy time sweeping the nightly ratings. THE KENNEDY CENTER HONORS collected 9.2 million and a 1.2 rating in the A18-49 demographic. That is an increase of two million viewers and a gain of 71% in the demo, from the 2013 event, which aired the Sunday after Christmas.

ABC and NBC gave us mini-marathons of one of their Tuesday dramas. Given what they are, the numbers were relatively positive.
