Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart  

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Both the night’s high-profile premieres received more critical love than audience attention:  BBCAmerica’s KILLING EVE debuted at 0.10, and Starz’s HOWARDS END didn’t even make the chart at a sad 0.03/217K (lead-out ASH VS EVIL DEAD dropped a tick to 0.06).  It should be noted that these networks may be fine with these shows being potential awards magnets, even if the viewers don’t turn up.
