Last night the numbers continued to slide for Under the Dome, and viewers watched country singers rock out. ABC:  CMA MUSIC FESTIVAL: COUNTRY’S NIGHT TO ROCK was up an impressive half ratings point from last year’s installment to 2.0, although that one aired in mid-September, against some early regular season competition. CBS:  UNDER THE […]

The ratings below are household ratings from the 56 television markets with local Nielsen meters for Saturday August 24 and Sunday August 25, 2013.

Preliminary numbers for the simultaneous premiere of BONNIE & CLYDE on Lifetime, A&E and History are at […]
