Episode two didn’t bring any good news for this reality show. It was down by 11% in the demo with a 1.7 rating and 4.45 million viewers. It was in fourth place for the timeslot. NBC execs are surely very grateful they didn’t program this series twice a week like other singing competitions.
Season average: 1.8 in the demo with 4.88 million.

Episode 03-01: Monday, 9/19/11
This reality series has enjoyed limited success as a limited run show and has always aired in December. NBC took a chance by running season three in September, hoping to hold the timeslot until The Voice returns in mid-season. It didn’t pay off. It premiered to a 1.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with just 5.3 million viewers. Compared to the second season’s premiere, Sing-Off was down by 32% in the demo and 38% in viewership.

Reference point: The 2010-11 season averaged a 2.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 8.56 million viewers.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
