THE WEEK.  For the recently completed week ending Sunday (December 31, 2012-January 6, 2013), NBC maintained first place with a preliminary 2.75 adult 18-49 rating in prime time.  The week was supported by NBC’s final NFL game of the season (an NFL Wild Card game on Saturday night, which should go up to a 10.6 rating).  But […]

  The biggest reality shows on network television went head to head to head last night. NBC:  The Peacock threw a special results episode of THE VOICE against American Idol and Survivor last night, and the result was no clear winner.  The Voice tied with Survivor in the 8-8:30PM half-hour, then pulled ahead at 8:30 […]
