AFTERNOON UPDATE: SVU’s 0.1 upward adjustment meant that it, too, beat AMERICAN IDOL on Wednesday. MIXOLOGY also came up 0.1, as did each of the reruns that preceded it on ABC. WEDNESDAY CABLE: A very slow night on cable, as the NBA game on ESPN led with 1.0, and AMERICAN PICKERS (0.9) was behind […]
Wednesday preliminary broadcast ratings:
Weekend #15 of 2014 is looking like a very good $149 million for the top 12 films, 41% above the typical volume for this weekend the past few years ($112 million) and the second strong weekend in a row.
