UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Thursday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 6.16.2016

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  Game 6 of the NBA FINALS adjusted up to 7.7, and even though the morning number was slightly below the preliminary for 2014’s Game 6, the adjusted number is 0.1 higher.  The mini-JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE adjusted to 1.3.  Note that Nielsen did not report final numbers for NBC’s AQUARIUS because it aired on a “sustaining” basis, without network commercials (just a few for local stations).
