Projected weekly network ratings in prime time (based on four days of official nationals and three days of fast nationals).  ABC tumbles to last place with the NBA Finals all wrapped up.  The network is now pacing 12% behind last year’s comparable week.  CBS is back in the game with the early premiere of Big Brother and the bona fide hit Under the Dome — the network is up 21% from the same week last year and up 43% from last week.  With only one NHL game this past week, NBC is down over 30% from the prior week and the comparable week last year, but America’s Got Talent still provides enough to win a typical summer week.
