NETWORK UPDATE:  The only change from this morning’s numbers was a 0.1 bump for BIG BROTHER.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  ESPN dominated with its coverage of the NBA DRAFT, scoring 1.53 for the draft telecast itself (all nearly 5 hours of it–we don’t have an hour-by-hour breakdown), 1.01 for the pre-show, and 0.71 for the post show SPORTSCENTER.  Next came more sports, as WWE was down 0.02 to 0.63 for Syfy, with lead-out OLYMPUS (not on the chart because of the way Syfy listed it) down 0.04 to 0.10 with 382K total viewers.  A&E’s BEYOND SCARED STRAIGHT was at 0.53, with lead-out AMERICAN TAKEDOWN at 0.27.  On We, BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES fell 0.06 to 0.50, while CUTTING IT IN THE ATL gained 0.02 to 0.34.  HGTV’s HOUSE HUNTERS was up 0.04 to 0.47, and HOUSE HUNTERS INTERNATIONAL rose 0.01 to 0.38.  RIDICULOUSNESS (MTV) was at 0.47/0.42, down from last week’s 0.50.  History’s ALONE gained 0.05 to 0.45, but MOUNTAIN MEN fell 0.12 to 0.35.  Notably, a 15-minute preview for Disney Channel’s TEEN BEACH 2 scored 0.40 (and 0.88 among the F12-34 demo), boding well for the movie itself tonight.  Food Network’s BEAT B FLAY remained at 0.38.  It was a bad night for USA Network, with the 2d episode of COMPLICATIONS down 0.13 to 0.28, and lead-out GRACELAND returning at 0.35–down 0.22 from last June, where it followed a 0.75 SUITS lead-in.  THE COMEDIANS (FX) ended its season with 2 half-hours at 0.22/0.13, compared to 0.21 last week.  Among the micro-rated, MARON gained 0.01 to 0.04, with 106K total viewers, and SMALL TOWN BIG DEAL (RFD) somehow managed to get even smaller, staying at zero 18-49s and with 22,000 total viewers, less than half of last week’s tiny crew.
