Preliminary Ratings: Tuesday 06/09/15

With game three of the NBA Finals, ABC dominated the night in the ratings. The preliminary ratings show Tuesday night's game right in between game one and game two, so Finals should show the game getting about 18 million viewers, and low to mid 7's in the demo ratings. Game four is Thursday night.

With NBA going head to head, in some markets, AMERICA'S GOT TALENT posted a season low, drawing just 10.3 million viewers. But, that is not a huge drop, down by about a half a million viewers. I CAN DO THAT appears to be up, but when finals are released, this evening, is should be flat, week-to-week.

An all original FOX had a tough time beating the repeats on CBS. NCIS did better than 5th GRADER, while the season finale of HELL'S KITCHEN only did marginally better, in the demos, than NCIS: NEW ORLEANS. In fact, even the CW's numbers don't look so bad, next to FOX and CBS.
