CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  There were some notable numbers a bit past the top of the Tuesday chart.  WGNAmerica’s OUTSIDERS premiered at 0.33, a blockbuster hit compared to the ratings the network was getting for SALEM (mostly in the 0.10-0.15 range), let alone MANHATTAN (0.05 in a good week).  Also, MTV’s SHANNARA not only jumped 0.18 to 0.49, but outrated its TEEN WOLF lead-in (up 0.05 to 0.44).  This may have been (someone out there will know) the first SHANNARA episode that wasn’t previously made available via VOD/streaming, so here’s a case where that may have made a significant difference.

As usual, though, the night was won by History’s CURSE OF OAK ISLAND, which held last week’s 0.93, with the AFTERSHOW up a tick to 0.38.  On HGTV, FIXER UPPER gained 0.04 to 0.89, with lead-outs HOUSE HUNTERS up 0.06 to 0.60 and HOUSE HUNTERS INTL up 0.02 to 0.50.  OWN’s THE HAVES AND HAVE NOTS lost a hundredth to 0.83.  On Freeform (yes, we know the chart still says ABCFamily–Nielsen hasn’t made the change yet in their data), PRETTY LITTLE LIARS slipped 0.04 to 0.79, and SHADOWHUNTERS rose 0.04 to 0.45.  Discovery’s MOONSHINERS climbed 0.09 to 0.73, and KILLING FIELDS was up a tenth to 0.51.  On Bravo, REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS was down 0.03 to 0.67, and GIRLFRIENDS GUIDE TO DIVORCE lost 0.02 to 0.26.  On Lifetime, DANCE MOMS ticked up to 0.54, and PITCH SLAPPED was up 0.02 to 0.25.  On A&E, MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT gained 0.05 to 0.48, and FIT TO FAT TO FIT was up 0.08 to 0.34.  On E!, TOTAL DIVAS dropped a tenth to 0.42, and JUST JILLIAN slid 0.03 to 0.20.  On TLC, THE LITTLE COUPLE was up a tick to 0.39, but KATE PLUS 8 lost 0.04 to 0.30.  BET’s REAL HUSBANDS OF HOLLYWOOD was down 0.02 to 0.30, and ZOE EVER AFTER held at 0.28.  Syfy’s THE EXPANSE had a 0.08 bump to 0.25.  POP’s IMPACT WRESTLING gained 0.04 to 0.13 (re-airing was at 0.04/103K).
