NETWORK UPDATE:  NOTE–because of NFL exhibition game preemptions, comparisons are to last week’s final Saturday ratings, rather than preliminary Sunday morning numbers.  NBC:  the GYMNASTICS special adjusted to 0.5, and HANNIBAL was steady at 0.3.  CBS:  PGA CHAMPIONSHIP coverage pushed the primetime line-up by half an hour, and all the night’s reruns were down 0.2, to 0.3/0.5/0.6.  ABC:  the AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS rerun stayed at 0.5, and both the BACHELOR IN PARADISE rerun and BOSTON EMS rose by 0.1, respectively to 0.4 and 0.5.  FOX:  both reruns were down 0.1, BULLSEYE to 0.2 and HOME FREE to 0.3.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Starz’s POWER only gained a hundredth for its season finale, but the 0.66 was enough to nose out a victory for the night.  Here’s the Adult Swim middle of the night report, and note once again that since we’re reporting some shows not listed as “originals” (because they weren’t shown previously in their current versions), we have no way of knowing whether these were reruns for the network or not.  DRAGON BALL Z led the way at 0.75 (down 0.23 from last week) and 1.7M total viewers.  AKAME GA KILL was down 0.28 to 0.65.  MICHIKO & HATCHINI dropped 0.16 to 0.58, with 1.3M total viewers.  SWORD ART ONLINE lost a tenth to 0.54.  NARUTO fell 0.08 to 0.48, with 1M total viewers.  ONE PIECE slipped 0.03 to 0.42, with 840K total viewers.  ATTACK ON TITAN fell 0.09 to 0.38, with 850K total viewers.

Elsewhere, NFL Network’s coverage of the Tampa Bay vs. Minnesota PRESEASON FOOTBALL game was at 0.65.  Spike’s COPS was down 0.07 to 0.40.  PIONEER WOMAN (Food) rose 0.06 to 0.35.  An 8AM episode of POKEMON on the Cartoon Network was down 0.06 to 0.31.  AMC’s HELL ON WHEELS gained a tick to 0.31.  AMERICA’S NEXT WEATHERMAN (TBS) slipped 0.04 to 0.25.  Discovery’s MYTHBUSTERS dropped 0.11 to 0.26.  CEDAR COVE (Hallmark) gained 0.02 to 0.18.  BIG BROTHER AFTER DARK (POP) was at 0.04/117K.
