Sunday Final Nationals: ‘Phelps vs. Shark’ on Discovery Delivers 4-Year Shark Week Program High

CBS was Sunday night’s most-watched network with an average of 4.75 million viewers. The “Game of Thrones”-fueled HBO topped all networks among all key demos from 7-11 p.m. — adults 18-49 (approx. 1.54 rating), adults 18-34 (approx. 1.22 rating) and adults 25-54 (approx. 1.73 rating). Not surprisingly, the season premieres of “Ballers” and “Insecure”, leading out of “Game of Thrones”, each registered their highest to-date ratings for their respective series.

The highly-promoted “Phelps vs. Shark” on Discovery Channel began the network’s 29th annual Shark Week. Drawing 4.78 million viewers, it was the most-watched Shark Week program since the mockumentary “Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives” from Aug. 4, 2013 (4.8 million viewers).

From 7-11 p.m., Discovery was TV’s No. 2 network in all key demos — adults 18-49 (approx. 1.28 rating), adults 18-34 (approx. 0.99 rating) and adults 25-54 (approx. 1.39 rating).
