Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart  

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  It appears that HBO mistakenly listed the premiere of Beyonce’s LEMONADE as a rerun, which is why it doesn’t appear on the charts below.  For the record, it had a 0.41 rating in 18-49s (a bit surprisingly modest, considering that it exploded the internet over the weekend, and considerably below the 0.71 lead-in it had from a run of the movie JURASSIC WORLD) with 787K total viewers.  HBO did report its other original ratings for the night, which were various segments of its BOXING coverage at 0.51/0.48/0.42/0.34.

The non-HBO cable day was dominated by NBA PLAYOFFS games on both ESPN and TNT, led by ESPN’s late Portland vs. Clippers game at 1.17, with other games at 1.03/0.92/0.71.  On Adult Swim, DRAGON BALL Z was down 0.09 to 0.62/1.361M, DIMENSION W steady at 0.53, HUNTER X HUNTER down a tick to 0.46/1.012M, SAMURAI CHAMPLOO held at 0.41/896K, NARUTO was up 0.03 to 0.39/852K, ONE PIECE up 0.03 to 0.35/756K, and PARASYTE up 0.02 to 0.31/659K.  On HGTV, WE BOUGHT THE FARM was at 0.30/0.26 compared to last week’s 0.33, and HOUSE HUNTERS RENOVATION stayed at 0.30.  Spike’s COPS fell 0.06 to 0.29.  Starz’s OUTLANDER ticked up to 0.28.  On Food Network, KITCHEN AT FN gained 0.02 to 0.28, and PIONEER WOMAN was at 0.22.
