The BET Awards was Sunday's number one cable program, with a 3.2 adults 18-49 rating. True Blood came in second, with a 2.6 adults 18-49 rating, even with last week
We only receive the top 100 cable shows for adults 25-54 for the whole day from our principal source. If you don’t see an original episode of a show here, it’s because it wasn’t in the top 100.
The list below is long but you can use your browsers "find on page" feature (usually CTRL+F or CMD+F) to search - that's probably the easiest way to find Falling Skies.

Ouch at The Newsroom. That’s down 44%! At least that’s still better than Veep and Girls
What was the audience demographic for the BET awards? lol
Showtime is still losing its highest rated comedy in Weeds. I wonder if they’re waiting to see if Laura Linney gets an Emmy nomination before deciding on The Big C’s fate.
The Newsroom dropped like a rock. Didn’t it have like 2.2 million viewers last week?
Top 5 originals Nick/Disney-
1. GLC- 4.0 million
2. Victorious- 3.8 million
3. Shake It Up- 3.7 million
4. A.N.T Farm- 3.4 million
5. My Babysitter’s a Vampire- 3.2 million
Disney- 4 entries
Nick- 1 entry
And, although GLC edged Victorious by only 200K, it still beat it! Knew GLC would get 4 million, even if barely! Good numbers for Disney! Good for Victorious too! HTR still bad!
Also, don;t try to say this isn’t a fair comparison and that Disney had more originals, take a look at this-
Nick- 8 originals for the week
Disney- 5 originals for the week
Nick had an advantage and still lost!
Next week-
Nick- 6 originals
Disney- 3 originals
My prediction for the top 5 next week
1. A.N.T Farm
2. MBAV
3. Gravity Falls
4. Figure It Out
5. Figure It Out
Disney will BEAT Nick with a disadvantage!
Disney RULES!
1.8 is very respectable for the Euros, especially since it was a blowout.
OMG! How old are you Nick + Disney fans. Please stop. LOL!
Disney WINS! Disney BEAT Nick! Go Disney!
Go Victorious! Only good show on Nick!
GO NICKELODEON!!!!!!!! Fairly OddParents & Victorious is THE BEST!!!!! Also, BTR & Spongebob.
@tvguy101 I’m not sure where TNT got the 4.1 million viewers, I think they just made a mistake or they added in viewers for the encore (or they used a “total viewer” metric rather than an average). 1.4 million adults 18-49 isn’t the same thing as as a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating.
I’m not sure where TNT got that 1.4M # either since it had 1.473 million adults 18-49 (which would round up to 1.5 million), but ratings aren’t millions of viewers, but the percentage of the population being measured. There are 127.9 million adults 18-49 according to Nielsen so a “1.0″ adults 18-49 rating = 1.279 million adults 18-49.
Surprised there arent any ”Falling Skies will be cancelled” comments.
@Euro2012…
It is important to note that ESPN is going to see a solid number from ESPNDeportes. I’m expecting about 1 million Spanish viewers for that platform. The combined audience will be around 5 million or more (ESPN+ESPNDeportes)…Not counting the digital platforms…
EURO2016 looks good for ESPN.
@Nick:
On Saturday, can you post how “Lab Rats,” (7pm) “Let It Shine” (7:30pm) and a new episode of “Gravity Falls” (9:25pm) did on Disney Channel?
Thanks!
Good numbers for the Spain vs Italy final, top cable daytime program. As for Food Network Star, I’m waiting for the contestant with a nose ring to be dumped (or removes the ring) before I watch the program. In terms of star-quality contestants, the show has become worse with each passing season.
I’d like to know how a new Gravity Falls did Saturday June 30 at 9:25 on Disney
Episodes is a dead show airing….
Season 2 is doing pretty badly on BBC2 aswell so there’s no doubt it will get canned
According to TNT’s press release Falling Skies got 4.1 mill ??
@Disney rocks Calm down kid, it’s just a network. How old are you 12? We don’t have to get too excited over this, and LOL @Anthony.
@Dennis: as noted earlier I’m pretty sure TNT’s number in the press release is wrong or measuring something besides the average for the 9p telecast. I’m checking with them.
The amount of people talking about the ratings for Disney/Nick is too much for me to handle. The two always go back and forth, we get it.
TNT added the encore episode for Falling Skies to get 4.1 million
