NETWORK FINALS: CBS’s NO EXIT special, DYNASTY, WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY and DATELINE all lost 0.1 in final numbers
Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart
CABLE HIGHLIGHTS: TNT’s NBA PLAYOFFS game was at 1.57, and the network’s afternoon coverage of the PGA CHAMPIONSHIP was at 0.21. NBC Sports Net’s NHL PLAYOFFS game was at 0.43. Note that LIVE PD is on the chart because it was somehow listed as both an original and a rerun, but the rating (which would be a 0.22 drop to 0.41) strongly suggests a rerun. On Discovery, GOLD RUSH ticked up to 0.32, and DARK WATERS was down 0.02 to 0.17. HGTV’s MY LOTTERY DREAM HOUSE ticked down to 0.27. On We, MAMA JUNE: FROM NOT TO HOT gained 0.04 to 0.26. Food Network’s DINERS, DRIVE-INS & DIVES rose 0.04 to 0.24. HBO’s REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER was up 0.02 to 0.23, and WYATT CENAC’S PROBLEM AREAS was steady at 0.06. Adult Swim’s YOUR PRETTY FACE was at 0.21/0.19, compared to last week’s 0.22/0.18. MTV’s RIDICULOUSNESS was at 0.19/0.18, compared to last week’s 0.22/0.19. Off the chart, Cinemax’s WARRIOR was steady at 0.03/144K, and Sundance’s STATE OF THE UNION finished its run at 0.02/195K.
