NETWORK UPDATE: The overrun past 10PM didn’t affect the SURVIVOR finale’s rating in final numbers, but SURVIVOR REUNION fell 0.1.
Ratings in key demos for the Top 25 original cable telecasts (plus a few other lower-rated but noteworthy programs):
AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW (FX) slipped just a hundredth from last week to once again lead Wednesday cable at 1.50. It was a strong night for Comedy Central’s outgoing THE COLBERT REPORT and THE DAILY SHOW, at 0.70 and 0.77 respectively (up 0.14 and 0.16).

The final installment of Syfy’s ASCENSION rose 0.04 to 0.47., the same rating as both halves of ESPN’s NBA BASKETBALL doubleheader.
