The night belonged to the WOMENS WORLD CUP.
DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2).
Ratings analysis and comparisons follow the text.
FOX: The US team’s 0-0 tie with Sweden pushed the WOMENS WORLD CUP to a 1.5 rating, up 0.2 from Monday’s match and the highest-rated show of the night on network TV.
ABC: After 0.9 for a SHARK TANK rerun, WHAT WOULD YOU DO dropped 0.1 to 1.0, and 20/20 fell 0.3 to 1.1.
CW: WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY had an 0.4 for its original episode (down 0.1 from last week), then after a 0.3 rerun, THE MESSENGERS stayed at 0.2.
NBC: Following 0.8 for a rerun of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT, DATELINE was down 0.1 to 1.0.
CBS: Reruns at 0.5-0.6.
The Saturday monotony of reruns and cheap reality programming will be broken up tonight by a NHL FINALS game on NBC and MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL on FOX. Sunday will be dominated by the NBA FINALS, with new episodes of A.D. THE BIBLE CONTINUES and AMERICAN ODYSSEY on NBC, and GOLAN THE INSATIABLE on FOX. Basketball’s major competition, though, will come from HBO, which airs the season finale of GAME OF THRONES, as well as finales for SILICON VALLEY and VEEP.
CABLE RATINGS: Come back Monday for detailed demographic ratings for top cable programs from this day.

On another night riddled with football preemptions and likely to be adjusted by Monday numbers, there was little to say. ABC’s WE DAY special went largely unseen at 0.4, and the night’s original 20/20, down 0.2 to 0.7, barely outraged its SHARK TANK rerun lead-in. NBC’S DATELINE won the…
