Nbc, The Voice | featured news

Two popular reality shows made a splash upon their re-entry during the past week – and a new one had a strong debut. A new episode of "Dancing With the Stars" premiered on ABC last week before 17 million viewers, just behind CBS drama "NCIS" as the week's most popular program. It was down to 14.5 million Monday night, facing competition from the return of "The Voice" on NBC.

Cassadee Pope, who was country singer Blake Shelton's protege on the third season of NBC's "The Voice," has won the show's competition....

There was lots of good news on Monday night, as "The Voice" and "Dancing with the Stars" both saw week-to-week growth and helped carry NBC and ABC to their regular Monday split.

NBC is back in the game! The 2012-13 TV season officially kicked off Monday, and NBC — armed this time with “The Voice” — more than doubled its performance, causing its competition to take some major hits.

After NBC dropped from first among young Monday viewers last week, "The Voice" got a bit of a finale bump and helped the network reclaim that crown. ABC still easily won Monday overall, thanks to "Dancing with the Stars" and a "Castle" finale bump.

The Voice eliminated quarterfinalists RaeLynn and Ashley De La Rosa and determined four of its second-season semifinalists during Tuesday night's broadcast of the NBC singing competition.

With the success of "The Voice," NBC recently announced that it will expand the singing competition to two nights for the live shows starting on April 2. The live performance shows will air for two hours on Mondays at 8 p.m. EST with the eliminations announced during an one-hour results show airing on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST.

Having the top show on television presents a rare opportunity for any network, but especially NBC, which has been so far behind for so long... This week “The Voice” emerged as the unlikely winner of its own reality competition. With a 6 rating, it displaced Fox’s long-running “American Idol” as America’s top-rated television series.

The second week of NBC’s singing competition, “The Voice,” snagged more than 16 million viewers Monday from 8 to 10 p.m. — the time slot in which the network had averaged a measly 5.6 million viewers this season.

This post contains spoilers from the season finale of “The Voice.” NBC’s “The Voice” came to an end Wednesday night, with soul singer Javier Colon taking home the title over Dia Frampton. But before there was a winner and a runner-up, both contestants got the chance to duet with two music stars.
