Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart  

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  There wasn’t any good news for fans of AMC’s HALT AND CATCH FIRE, which returned at 0.11.  (Note that although the chart only reports the 10PM episode, because the 9PM hour was technically a rerun since it ran on Sunday night, both hours last night were at 0.11.)
