It was a fairly quiet night in the Thursday cable ratings this week. MTV’s “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” led with a 1.1 rating in adults 18-49 with 1.76 million viewers, which was up two-tenths from the 0.9 that it had scored the week before. The NBC Sports Network’s broadcast of the Winnipeg vs Nashville NHL Semi-Finals game followed behind with a 0.5.
MTV’s “Ex on the Beach” rounded out the top 3 of the night with a 0.5 as well, up one-tenth from its previous 0.4. Meanwhile, the History Channel, “Swamp People” took a minor hit, falling one-tenth from a 0.4 to a 0.3, and VH1’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race” similarly fell to a 0.4.
After managing to tick up slightly last week too, the season 2 finale of FX’s “Atlanta” fell one-tenth from a 0.4 to a 0.3, with 553,000 viewers. Outside of the top 25, Freeform’s “Siren” just barely maintained a 0.2.
