The third-season finale of The Voice brought an easy win for NBC on Tuesday, growing to season highs and its largest finale showing in the process. Early numbers give the two-hour episode a 4.9 rating among adults 18-to-49 and 14 million viewers — a respective 11 and 18 percent higher than its most recent finale. With an encore of the previous night’s performance episode at 8 p.m., the network averaged a 4.0 rating in the key demo and 12.1 million viewers for the night.
