ABC's 'Rising Star' Gets Lackluster Start
Posted in: Uncategorized
“Rising Star” brought in just about 5 million viewers for ABC when it bowed on Sunday night.
It’s a lackluster start for the much-hyped singing competition series, which allows viewers to vote via an app in real time. During the same time period, NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” was watched by about 8 million viewers.
And in the all-important 18-to-49 demographic, “Rising Star’s” preliminary 1.5 rating fell below the network’s most recent attempt at a music competition series, “Duets,” which did not get a second season. A single ratings point represents 1% of the total number of TV households.
