Projected weekly network ratings in prime time (based on four days of official nationals and three days of fast nationals). ABC wins the week, thanks mostly to the Billboard Music Awards, which is up 30% over the 2012 version, making up for declines on the rest of the schedule. With the finale of American Idol, FOX is up 11% over last week but 17% below the same week last year. Hard to believe the Idol finale is now not enough to guarantee a weekly victory. CBS is wheezing to the finish line with many shows already over for the year, while NBC is pacing very similar to last year’s pattern at this time.

Updated season to date network ratings and projections for the full season through May. With just a few days left in the May sweep and the broadcast season itself, we have reached the point where there is no difference between the actual season to date ratings and the full season projections. An ugly season draws to a close at last.
