Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart  

 

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  A&E’s LIVE PD climbed 0.09 to 0.53, with the lead-in hour at 0.33.  (Note that while theatrical movie ratings only hit our chart when networks erroneously list them as “originals,” HOBBS & SHAW was particularly strong on HBO at 0.40.)  On another day dominated by pandemic news, the 1PM hour of CNN NEWSROOM led at 0.39/0.56/1.9M, with the same hour at Fox News at 0.35/0.54/2.9M and MSNBC’s similar slot at 0.17/0.24/1.4M.  Food Network’s DINERS, DRIVE-INS & DIVES was at 0.30 in primetime, and in the morning, KITCHEN AT FN gained 0.02 to 0.23, and PIONEER WOMAN was at 0.22.  Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows: DRAGON BALL at 0.11/237K & 0.15/326K, MY HERO ACADEMIA up 0.03 to 0.26, SWORD ART UNDERWORLD down 0.03 to 0.19, DEMON SLAYER down 0.02 to 0.18/358K, FOOD WARS down 0.02 to 0.16, BLACK CLOVER down 0.02 to 0.15/275K, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE down 0.02 to 0.13/235K, NARUTO steady at 0.13/236K, PRIMAL steady at 0.12/217K, and SAMURAI JACK up 0.03 to 0.13/228K.  On History, THE UNXPLAINED rose 0.04 to 0.19, and ANCIENT ALIENS was up 0.03 to 0.18.  TLC’s SAY YES TO THE DRESS was at 0.18/0.13/0.12 compared to last week’s 0.12/0.09.  HGTV’s NATE & JEREMIAH fell 0.09 to 0.18.  OWN’s LOVE GOALS ticked down to 0.05.
