Primetime Ratings, Saturday, 1/18/14 & Sunday, 1/19/14

 

 

ABC prevailed on Saturday, while FOX got the duke on Sunday.

FOX's broadcast of the NFC Championship game easily dominated the weekend, earning a monster 19.0 demo and drawing in over 55 million total viewers. Programmed in the cushy post-game slot was the season 2 premiere of surprise 2013 hit 'The Following,' which garnered a 4.4 demo and drew a total audience of over 11 million people. This represents a series high in both measures for the Kevin Bacon fronted thriller.

Elsewhere, '60 Minutes' dropped almost 70% to a 1.3 for CBS. To be fair, last week was preceded by an NFL playoff game. 'The Bachelor's ongoing specials continue to tumble, with the latest installment falling to a 0.9. 'Revenge' fell three tenths to a 1.3, tying its previous all-time low. The season (and likely series) finale of 'Betrayal' dipped a tenth to a paltry 0.7. A new 'Dateline' earned a 0.8 for NBC.
