The following list includes the years in which the final rounds of competition for this program were broadcast in their entirety on television (TV), along with the names of their broadcasters, their hosts, and the ratings* they were given by the Nielsen Company (based on surveys of folks who had claimed to have seen and/or heard the finals being broadcast on television).

(note #1: each of the ratings below represents a percentage of homes or people in the United States or a small area of it with TV sets tuned to a particular TV program and each audience share represents a percentage of homes or people with TV sets tuned to a particular TV program at the same time compared to all of the homes or people with functioning TV sets (you may learn more about terms such as ratings and surveys from the glossary on the official World Wide Web site for the Nielsen Company))

(note #3: the last time a final round was broadcast in its entirety on TV was in the year 2005, when the organizers of the program eliminated national TV broadcasts from their budget. The last time any portion of a final round was broadcast live on television was in the year 2006 as part of a local TV program about 60 minutes in length. As for the final rounds to have been broadcast in their entireties since then, they were only broadcast onto the World Wide Web)
