The third season finale of Fox’s “The Masked Singer” was the most-watched prime-time program in a week that combined the final three days of the official prime-time television season and the first four of the summer season.

The singing competition, in which singer-songwriter and television personality Kandi Burruss was revealed to be the winner, averaged 9.005 million viewers, the most since its post-Super Bowl episode, which averaged 23.731 million viewers, according to live-plus-same-day figures released Wednesday by Nielsen.

Viewership for the finale was 7.6% more than the 8.371-million average for the second season finale on Dec. 18, 2019, but 21.6% less than the 11.479-million average for the first-season finale on Feb. 27, 2019.

“The Masked Singer” was the only prime-time program to average more 8 million viewers between May 18 and Sunday.

The season’s final two episodes of the NBC singing competition “The Voice” were the only other programs to average more than 7 million viewers. The two-hour episode May 18 averaged 7.635 million viewers, its most since the April 20 episode, which averaged 9.181 million viewers.

The finale May 19, which also ran for two hours, averaged 7.545 million viewers, 1.5% more than the record-low 7.43-million average for the 2019 spring season finale.

Official viewership for most forms of programming is down compared to the past primarily due to increased viewership of streaming programming, including the same programs shown on traditional television.
