TV ratings: ‘The Voice’ finale wins Tuesday but is down from year ago
Tessanne Chin delivered a triumph for Adam Levine on “The Voice†Tuesday night, while the singing contest’s finale brought home a big victory for NBC.
On average, about 13.8 million people watched the two-hour season closer, according to early numbers. The show scored a rating of 3.9 in the 18-to-49 demographic, far outpacing its competition among advertiser-desired young adults.
Tuesday night’s episode, in which Chin of Jamaica beat out Will Champlin and Jacquie Lee, was down around 20% from last year’s fall finale in the demo, but it lost only 2% of its total audience, suggesting that the reality series is skewing older this time around.

NBC also had “Biggest Loser,†which rose 5% from last week to a 2.0 in 18-to-49, helping NBC top the other major networks in the demo.
CBS took the night in total viewership, with “NCIS†leading the way with 19.4 million in the audience. “NCIS†fell slightly week-to-week to a 2.8, while “NCIS: Los Angeles†(15.3 million viewers overall) was flat at a 2.4, and “Person of Interest†drew a 1.9, down 14% from its last original episode three weeks ago.
ABC was in reruns except for “ABC News: What Would You Do?†which drew 2.48 million viewers and a 0.7 rating.
Fox was in all repeats.
