The Voice is back on NBC. Will two cycles a year end up being too much for the network or will the show continue to bring big ratings to the network that sorely needs them. We shall see. Airing twice a week (typically Mondays and Tuesdays), the coaches on The Voice are Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Shakira, and Usher. The advisors are Hillary Scott, Sheryl Crow, Pharrell Williams and Joel Madden while Carson Daly returns as the host.
These are the TV show’s ratings for the 2012-13 season, typically the best way to tell if The Voice is going to be cancelled or renewed for another season. In this case, the show’s already been renewed for a fall cycle. These figures will be updated as the weeks progress so be sure to bookmark and return to this page:

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.
