The Sing-Off: Cancelled; No Season Four

Published:May 20, 2012

Well, there’s one singing competition that won’t be back next season.
The Sing-Off has been cancelled after three seasons on the NBC.

Hosted by Nick Lachey, this TV series seeks to find the most-talented
a capella singing group in America. Judges have included Ben Folds,
Shawn Stockman, Nicole Scherzinger, and Sara Bareilles. The judges decide
who advances to the finale and the final winners are determined
by viewer votes. The champs take home a Sony recording contract and $200,000.

The Sing-Off began in December 2009 as a short-run series with
just four episodes. It did reasonably well — averaging a 2.3 rating
in the 18-49 demographic with 6.9 million viewers — so the peacock network
brought it back for season two.

It returned in December 2010, expanded to five episodes, and the ratings
rose 26% — to an average of a 2.9 in the demo with 8.6 million viewers.

NBC decided to take another chance and give The Sing-Off a two-hour
timeslot on the fall schedule with 11 episodes. That gamble didn't pay off
and the ratings were much lower. By the end of the season, The Sing-Off
averaged a 1.5 in the demo with 4.56 million.

On our NBC Ratings Report Card, which measures the relative demo
performance of TV shows on the network, The Sing-Off has an “C-” grade.
The network has now cancelled the show.

NBC could have brought it back for another limited run, perhaps over
the summer or in December but were likely hesitant to flood
their schedule with yet another singing/talent competition.
America's Got Talent has been very successful for them over the summer
months and NBC plans to run two cycles of The Voice next season.
There just wasn't a place on the schedule for The Sing-Off any longer.
