Spotted Ratings, Sunday 6/12/11: The Heat Defeat

WHAT MATTERS:

• Looks like great ratings for the sixth and final game of the NBA Finals. Preliminarily, it's an 8.6 demo, and the final number should be higher (though it won't rise as much percentage-wise as the Tuesday/Thursday games since it didn't run out of primetime). Don't want to speculate on exact numbers, but I feel pretty confident it'll finish well ahead of any other game in this series as well as last year's game six, and most likely significantly behind the 11.4 for last season's seventh and final game.

• The Tony Awards (1.2) were up a tick year-to-year.

Above based on preliminary adults 18-49 ratings unless otherwise noted.
