On Monday night, the NCAA Basketball Championship dominated for CBS and it was up 2.5 million viewers and a strong eight tenths in the demo. The competition held up well against basketball which shows that there's an audience out there but they just don't watch broadcast TV regularly. Impressively, The Voice was actually up seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo to a season high. Revolution followed on NBC and was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On FOX, The Following was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. I thought both Revolution and The Following would drop with the competition so the fact that they held steady is a good sign. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.
