CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  The NBA narrowly look Monday cable honors, with TNT’s Golden State vs. Cleveland game at 1.48, followed by a considerably lower 0.69 for the late Houston vs. Clippers match.  (A holiday afternoon New Orleans vs. Memphis game on ESPN was at 0.32.)  The primetime game narrowly edged out VH1’s LOVE & HIP HOP, up 0.04 from last week to 1.47, and followed by HIT THE FLOOR at 0.84.  USA’s Monday WWE was at 1.31/1.24/1.11, compared to last week’s 1.22/1.17/1.15.  MTV’s TEEN MOM gained 0.09 to 1.08, and the AFTERSHOW special was up a tick to 0.63.  On Discovery, FAST N LOUD jumped 0.25 to 0.99 (last week was down 0.42, so Discovery was clearly hurt by the College Football Championship last Monday), and DIESEL BROTHERS was similarly up 0.24 to 0.82.  On Bravo, VANDERPUMP RULES gained 0.16 to 0.82, and UNTYING THE KNOT rose 0.05 to 0.27.  On Food Network, KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP was up 0.05 to 0.49, and CAKE WARS was also up 0.05 to 0.46. 

The first part of WAR & PEACE was simulcast on History, A&E and Lifetime, where it was respectively at 0.14/0.13/0.09 (with 440K total viewers on Lifetime). 

For those interested, the rest of the ANGIE TRIBECA marathon on TBS (which was all reruns by 6AM when our Monday listings begin–yes, there’s a roughly 3-hour gap in reported numbers between the “Sunday” and “Monday” we have) went down to a low of 0.10 for the 7:21AM episode, then gradually climbed to 0.17 for the 12:57PM episode, then held within a 0.12-0.19 range before rising to 0.23 at 6:33PM, which along with the 7:51PM episode was the day’s high.  As we previously noted, with little commercial revenue for TBS during that 25-hour run, what will matter is what happens next week, when the show returns on a normal schedule.
