7 Comments

For the second consecutive Sunday night, CBS and HBO each shared leadership. CBS again led in total viewers (4.58 million). Aided by the mega-hit “Game of Thrones”, HBO was the No. 1 network among all key demos from 7-11 p.m. for the third consecutive Sunday — adults 18-49 (approx. 1.51 rating), adults 18-34 (approx. 1.24 rating) and adults 25-54 (approx. 1.7 rating). Each “Ballers” and “Insecure” grew in live plus same day viewers from their respective season premieres in the previous week.

HBO was also cable’s most-watched network in prime time (3.27 million viewers), even besting NBC and Fox in average audience for the night.

  2. The cable ranking is great to see. Might you consider also repeating the chart by audience size from largest down to smallest, rather than by cable channel? That would seem the more germane and interesting bit of data. And personally, I’d love to see all shows from all dayparts and both cable and network in one chart for a day, from largest audience down to the smallest. I don’t think viewers make any distinction between cable and network so why should a ratings chart?
