In response to popular demand, we’re introducing a NEW FEATURE today: a Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings chart which includes final Total Viewers for each show. We have a limited ability to make revisions to the format (a side-by-side comparison of morning and afternoon ratings isn’t doable, for example), but would appreciate any thoughts and comments.
The season premieres of SHARK TANK and THE AMAZING RACE gained 0.1 in the finals.
CABLE HIGHLIGHTS: Disney’s GIRL MEETS WORLD topped Friday cable, up 0.08 from last week to 0.64, and DOG WITH A BLOG, airing at 8PM instead of 9:30PM, jumped by 0.13 to 0.41. Lifetime’s BRING IT climbed 0.13 to 0.58, and STEP IT UP debuted at 0.48. On Adult Swim, BLACK JESUS gained 0.06 to 0.53. ESPN’s COLLEGE FOOTBALL game was at 0.49. On Discovery, BERING SEA GOLD lost 0.08 to 0.44, and EDGE OF ALASKA was steady at 0.33. 2 episodes of OWN’s FOR BETTER OR WORSE were at 0.43/0.39, compared to last week’s 0.40/0.35. On Syfy, Z NATION ate an additional 0.08 to 0.38, and CONTINUUM ticked up to 0.16. On We, 2 episodes of KENDRA ON TOP were at 0.23/0.19, compared to last week’s 0.25/0.23. HBO’s REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER fell 0.04 to 0.19. 2 episodes of TNT’s COLD JUSTICE: SEX CRIMES were at 0.17/0.15, up a bit from last week’s 0.14 for a single hour.
