Finals Bcast 2016 Feb MON.08

 

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Turner premiered FULL FRONTAL WITH SAMANTHA BEE across several networks.  On its TBS home, it scored 0.28, but interestingly it was much higher on Adult Swim at 0.45 (stronger there in all demos except 50+), plus 0.18 on TNT.  We don’t currently have the rating for Tru, but will add it if we get it later.  It also scored 0.03/71K on Tru, On TBS, FULL FRONTAL outrated its lead-out CONAN, which was at 0.19, and although the two shows don’t compete directly against each other, it’s worth noting that Comedy’s THE DAILY SHOW was at 0.36 last night, a fairly typical number for the post-Jon Stewart era.  (Earlier in the evening on TBS, AMERICAN DAD was up 0.01 to 0.54.)

Elsewhere, USA’s super-sized WWE telecast had 3 of the top 4 slots at 1.41/1.37/1.32 (the latter was an 86-min “hour”), compared to last week’s 1.26/1.24/1.15.  On VH1, LOVE & HIP-HOP slipped 0.05 to 1.37, STEVIE J & JOSELINE GO HOLLYWOOD ticked down to 1.09, K MICHELLE MY LIFE lost 0.07 to 0.91, and HIT THE FLOOR was also down 0.07 to 0.62.  On Discovery, FAST N LOUD gained 0.11 to 1.09, and DIESEL BROTHERS fell 0.03 to 0.78.  MTV’s TEEN MOM climbed 0.09 to 1.09, and REAL LIFE was down 0.05 to 0.31.  Bravo’s VANDERPUMP RULES rose 0.03 to 0.71.  SWAMP PEOPLE returned to History at 0.59.  On Food Network, KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP fell 0.06 to 0.52, and CAKE WARS was down 0.07 to 0.39.  An original COPS on Spike was at 0.34.  On Freeform, THE FOSTERS dipped 0.03 to 0.29, and RECOVERY ROAD held at 0.18.  Syfy’s just-renewed THE MAGICIANS went in the wrong direction, down 0.07 to 0.28, and LOST GIRL was up a tick to 0.12.  The finale of Lifetime’s WAR & PEACE gained 0.02 to 0.12.  HBO’s HOMEGROWN documentary special was at 0.10.
