Sunday Final Nationals: HBO Achieves Five-Week TV-Best in Sunday Key Demos

CBS was Sunday’s most-watched network with an average of 4.8 million viewers on this night.

It was the sixth consecutive Sunday that HBO was the leader among all key demos from 7-11 p.m. (thanks, “Game of Thrones”) — adults 18-49 (approx. 1.9 rating), adults 18-34 (approx. 1.5 rating) and adults 25-54 (approx. 2.1 rating). These demo ratings are the best any TV network has averaged on Sunday nights since HBO on July 16 when “GoT” had returned.

HBO was also cable’s most-watched network in prime time (4 million viewers), besting NBC and Fox in average audience for the night, and was just 440,000 viewers shy of ABC.
