CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  It was a POWER franchise transition night at Starz, as the network aired the season finale of POWER BOOK 2: GHOST at 0.27 (up a mighty 0.13 from last week, and also up 0.05 from last season’s finale), followed by the series premiere of POWER BOOK 4: FORCE at 0.20.  TNT’s series finale of CLAWS climbed 0.06 from last week to 0.17.

On HBO, EUPHORIA slipped 0.02 to 0.11, THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES gained 0.03 to 0.10, and the just-renewed SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE was steady at 0.02, a testament to the diminished importance of linear ratings to pay networks.  On Showtime, BILLIONS ticked up to 0.05, and WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT COSBYwas up 0.03 to 0.05. 

On ESPN, the PRO BOWL was at 0.63, followed by an ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY at 0.38 and MAN IN THE ARENA at 0.28.  On TLC, 90 DAY FIANCE rose 0.03 to 0.59 (aftershow down 0.04 to 0.20), with SISTER WIVES down 0.06 to 0.40.  USA’s WINTER OLYMPICS coverage was at 0.49/0.48/0.46/0.43/0.31/0.16.  On Bravo, REAL HOUSEWIVES OF SALT LAKE CITY ticked up to 0.29.  On HGTV, HOME TOWN gained 0.03 to 0.24.  Discovery’s DIRTY JOBS climbed 0.07 to 0.19.  On Food Network, GUY’S CHANCE OF A LIFETIME ticked up to 0.17.  History’s PAWN STARS was at 0.11/0.10.
