NETWORK UPDATE: The STANLEY CUP FINALS adjusted up to 2.3 after time zones were accounted for. In addition, 20/20 rose by 0.1.
FRIDAY CABLE: See our WORLD CUP SKEDBALL post for a detailed breakdown of the day’s games, but in 18-49s, 2 of the games were the highest-rated shows on cable: the Spain/Netherlands game (ESPN) at 1.4 and Chile/Australia (ESPN2) at 1.3. Earlier in the day, the Mexico/Cameroon game (ESPN2) was at 0.9. Elsewhere on cable, WWE (Syfy) was at 0.7, down 0.1 from last week. DINERS, DRIVE-INS & DIVES (Food Network) was at 0.4, also down 0.1.
NBC: The 5th and final game of the STANLEY CUP FINALS has a preliminary 1.9 rating in 18-49s, but that number will change, not only because of time-zone adjustment but due to the fact that the game required two overtimes and coverage didn’t end until 12:47AM Eastern time.
ABC: WHAT WOULD YOU DO? and 20/20 were each down 0.2 from last week, respectively to 1.2 and 1.3.
CBS: Reruns, led by 0.8 for UNDERCOVER BOSS.
FOX: Reruns, highlighted by 0.5 for MASTERCHEF.
CW: Reruns, topped by 0.5 for WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY.
A MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL game on FOX tonight is all that breaks up the usual Saturday mix of reruns and micro-budgeted unscripted programming. Sunday brings Game 5 of THE NBA FINALS on ABC, and NBC burns off the series finale of BELIEVE against it. On cable, GAME OF THRONES will have a huge season finale in the homes that have HBO.
