The 2012 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating ended on a lower note last week.
Last Sunday’s ISU Grand Prix Final drew a 0.6 final rating on NBC, down 33% from last year (0.9), and down 46% from 2010 (1.1).
The 0.6 rating is the lowest for the event since NBC began televising the ISU Grand Prix in 2009.
Not a single ISU Grand Prix telecast on NBC this season had an increase over last year. The top rating was a 0.8 for Skate America and the Cup of Russia.
