Wednesday Final Nationals: Golden State Warriors Continue to be Ratings Gold for the NBA and TNT

by Douglas Pucci May 12, 2016, 5:13 pm 10 Comments

CBS and Fox again shared top honors on Wednesday night. CBS bested in total viewers (7.17 million), Fox led in all key demographics: adults 18-49 (2.4 rating/9 share), adults 18-34 (2.0/9), and adults 25-54 (2.9/8).

The Golden State Warriors impress yet again in the “2016 NBA Playoffs” as their series-clinching Game 5 win over the Portland Trail Blazers to advance to the Western Conference Finals (which will exclusively air on TNT) drew over 6 million viewers (6.251 million, to be exact). This telecast, along with Monday’s Game 4 contest of Golden State-Portland, have been the only playoff games to-date to surpass 6 million this spring on a cable network.
