Demo Profile 2015 TUE.19 May

NBC:  After a 1.6 clip show, the season finale of THE VOICE was up 0.7 from last Tuesday to 2.8, but that was down half a point from the 2014 finale.

ABC:  The night opened with 1.9 for an hour of THE BACHELORETTE (down 0.2 from Monday), and then the season finale of DANCING WITH THE STARS was up 0.8 from last Tuesday to 2.3, which was down 0.1 from the May 2014 finale.

CW:  THE FLASH season finale slipped 0.1 from last week to 1.4, and IZOMBIE held at 0.7.

FOX:  2 hours of HELL’S KITCHEN were at 1.2/1.3, steady with last week.

CBS:  Reruns were topped by NCIS at 1.0.

The final night of the 2014-15 broadcast network season includes finales (SURVIVOR, THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA, SVU, CHICAGO PD, MODERN FAMILY, BLACK-ISH and SUPERNATURAL) and premieres (500 QUESTIONS and CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP on ABC, MASTERCHEF on FOX).  But the reason the night will be a part of TV history happens after primetime, when David Letterman hangs up his spurs after more then three decades as perhaps the most celebrated talk show host ever.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
