CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Once again, Spike’s marathon of COPS reruns was listed by the network as “originals,” making them dominate the chart.  That domination was helped by the fact that there were very few other originals on the holiday Saturday.  ESPN2’s EURO 2016 Germany vs. Italy match was easily the top-rated show at 0.81.  HGTV’s BEACHFRONT BARGAIN HUNT was almost half a point below at 0.34.  Cartoon Network’s 7AM POKEMON was at 0.32.  Lifetime’s NEWLYWED & DEAD movie was at 0.29.  On Food Network, KITCHEN AT FN was at 0.26, PIONEER WOMAN was at 0.21, and VALERIE’S HOME COOKING and FARMHOUSE RULES were both at 0.20.  Even with a different competitive landscape around it, AMC’s HELL ON WHEELS stayed at 0.19, and THE AMERICAN WEST dropped 0.03 to 0.10.
