Saturday Night Ratings: GENERAL HOSPITAL 20/20 Special Beats SMASH On Its New Night

Roger Newcomb April 07, 2013
The NCAA Men's Final Four on CBS dominated the Saturday night ratings on the brodcast networks so NBC, ABC and FOX were left to share the rest of the viewers.

At 9 p.m. ABC's 20/20: GENERAL HOSPITAL - THE REAL SOAP DISH scored 2.857 million total viewers in the overnights with an adults 18-49 rating of 0.6. This was enough to beat NBC's SMASH on its new night at time. The musical soap was watched by 1.877 million viewers with an adults 18-49 rating of 0.5.

Both shows may rise once DVR numbers are added in, although SMASH has not received the same type of bump shows like NASHVILLE or DALLAS have seen this season once +3 and +7 days of DVR viewership has been added in.
