Friday Final Nationals: Double-Digit Gains for ESPN Networks from Year-Ago Friday

For the second consecutive Friday, CBS, ABC and ESPN each had a share of prime time victory. CBS led among total viewers (7.99 million) while ABC won among adults 18-49 (1.2 rating/5 share) and ESPN was the night’s No. 1 network among adults 18-34 (approximately, a 1.0 rating). ABC and CBS tied for the top among adults 25-54 (1.6/5).

On ESPN, Game 6 of the NBA Eastern Conference First Round series between the Miami Heat and the Charlotte Hornets averaged a 16 percent viewer increase from the same Friday one year prior, which was Atlanta-Brooklyn Game 6. The night’s top cable program was later in the evening on ESPN: Western Conference First Round Game 6-L.A. Clippers at Portland.

On ESPN2, the second night of the NFL Draft was 10 percent above its year-ago Friday night; a +23 percent viewership boost for the NFL Network telecast of the same Draft.
