After being dethroned last week by Shark Week and the Concacaf Gold Cup Finals, Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New York City” returned to the top of the Wednesday cable ratings, and maintained a 0.6 rating in adults 18-49. VH1’s “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” landed near the top as well, which also managed to hold steady and maintained its recent 0.5 streak.
USA’s premiere episode of “The Sinner” scored a 0.4 with 1.62 million total viewers, which is on par with the network’s other notable original series. Meanwhile, the midseason finale of OWN’s “Queen Sugar” rose one-tenth from its previous 0.4 to a 0.5 this time around. After taking a minor hit last week too, “Snowfall” held steady with a 0.4 for the second week in a row on FX.
