CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Sports occupied most of Saturday’s cable Top 10.  The COPA AMERICA Mexico vs. Chile match led with 0.72 on Univision and an additional 0.50 on FX, while the Argentina vs. Venezuela match was respectively at 0.44 and 0.46.  Meanwhile, ESPN featured a variety of EURO 2016 games, including Portugal vs. Austria at 0.46, Iceland vs. Hungary at 0.41, and Belgium vs. Ireland at 0.35.  Amidst all this, the conclusion of ESPN’s OJ: MADE IN AMERICA rose 0.04 from Friday’s installment to 0.51.  (Note:  HBO continues to label its theatrical movies as “originals”, which is why TED 2 is on the chart, among others, although that 0.57 is a fairly impressive number for a movie that flopped at the US box office.)  The highest-rated scripted network was Adult Swim for its late-night animation line-up:  DRAGON BALL Z dropped 0.06 to 0.55/1.201M, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM fell 0.09 to 0.45, HUNTER X HUNTER was down 0.11 to 0.40/826K, SAMURAI CHAMPLOO also lost 0.11 to 0.35/715K, NARUTO dropped 0.07 to 0.33/678K, ONE PIECE shrank by 0.02 to 0.33/668K, and PARASYTE was off by 0.06 to 0.25/539K.  On Fox Sports 1, UFC was at 0.39, and US OPEN coverage was at 0.33. HGTV’s HOUSE HUNTERS RENOVATIONS ticked up to 0.32.  On Food Network, PIONEER WOMAN rose 0.05 to 0.27, and KITCHEN AT FN was also up 0.02 to 0.24.  Spike’s COPS lost 0.07 to 0.27.  On the original movie front, Hallmark’s THE CONVENIENT GROOM was at 0.26, and Lifetime’s MOTHER MAY I SLEEP WITH DANGER was at 0.25.  On AMC, HELL ON WHEELS fell 0.04 to 0.19, and THE AMERICAN WEST dropped 0.03 to 0.11.  Starz’s OUTLANDER continued its downward trajectory, falling 0.02 to 0.13.
