CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  ESPN’s UFC PRELIMS led Saturday cable at 0.44, up 0.02 from last week, the network’s morning WIMBLEDON coverage was at 0.22, and UFC’s lead-out, an NBA SUMMER PRO LEAGUE game, was at 0.21.  (Note that as per usual, when a cable network lists their run of a theatrical movie as an “original,” as with HBO and BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, it hits our charts although it’s not true original programming.)  Nickelodeon’s morning SPONGEBOB was at 0.30, with lead-out LEGO CITY ADVENTURES at 0.21.  Travel Channel’s GHOST ADVENTURES ticked down to 0.25.  Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows:   DRAGON BALL at 0.25 and 0.07/172K & 0.06/156K, compared to last week’s 0.27 and 0.08/249K & 0.09/253K, ATTACK ON TITAN down 0.03 to 0.12, SWORD ART ONLINE up 0.01 to 0.13, LUPIN THE 3RD down 0.03 to 0.09, FOOD WARS at 0.09, BLACK CLOVER up 0.01 to 0.11/186K, BORUTO up 0.02 to 0.11/197K, NARUTO up 0.01 to 0.09/162K, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM at 0.09, MY HERO ACADEMIA (in a much later timeslot) down 0.12 to 0.09/201K, and GEMUSETTO MACHU PICCHU steady at 0.07/126K.  On Food Network, KITCHEN AT FN dropped 0.06 to 0.22, PIONEER WOMAN held at 0.20, and TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN was down a tick to 0.18.  HGTV’s pool-centric line-up was led by POOL HUNTERS at 0.22.  ID’s FORBIDDEN gained 0.03 to 0.22.  Hallmark’s original movie LOVE UNLEASHED was at 0.20.  Lifetime’s original movie TRAPPED MODEL was at 0.18.  On OWN, IYANLA, FIX MY LIFE rose 0.03 to 0.13, and TO HAVE AND TO HOLD: CHARLOTTE was at 0.06.
