Sunday Final Nationals: ‘Power’ Season Premiere Sets Starz Viewership Record

2 Comments

Continued success for ABC’s ‘Sunday Fun and Games’ lineup featuring “Celebrity Family Feud”, “The $100,000 Pyramid” and “Match Game” as the network topped all key figures on Sunday night.

The third season premiere telecast of the Starz hit drama “Power” — the series moving from Saturdays to Sundays — set a viewership record for an original on the cabler.

· 2.26 Million Live+SD viewers gave the third season premiere episode of “Power” a new STARZ viewership record, with the July 17 9PM ET/PT airing, the most ever for a STARZ Original series.

· 830,000 (+58%) increase in viewers compared to last season’s “Power” season two return premiere telecast (1.43M Live+SD)

· 720,000 (+47%) increase in viewers compared to the “Power” season two finale episode viewership (1.54M Live+SD)

· 800,000 (+55%) increase in viewers compared to “Outlander” Season Two return (1.46M Live+SD), the previous STARZ record holder for most viewership of an original series episode or season premiere

· 3.37 Million Live+SD premiere night viewers in total over the three Sunday night airings, the most ever for an originals series season premiere (“Power” Season Two premiere night Live+SD viewership 2.72 million; +650,000 or +24% increase in viewers).

· “Power” Season Three premiere was No. 2 in Nielsen Twitter TV daily ratings all day Sunday.

· “Power” Season Three premiere at 9:02 p.m. was the day’s No. 1 cable telecast among adults 18-49 on this Sunday.

Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht (formerly, the programming head of HBO) said, “We are thrilled ‘Power’ continues to be a force in its third season with this record setting performance – something very few shows ever achieve. We are proud to say the show is must-watch TV and has helped to establish Starz as a Sunday destination for viewers.”

‘Power’ has already been renewed by Starz for two additional seasons.
