Something went right for the TONY AWARDS.

DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2).

CBS:  Whether it was HAMILTON, host James Corden, a lesser order of sports competition, a reaction to the day’s terrible news, or some combination thereof, THE TONY AWARDS took a mighty leap, rising two-thirds from last year’s preliminary 0.9 to a 1.5 that was the highest rating the show has had in more than a decade.  The night started with a 0.8 60 MINUTES, making the awards telecast a self-starter.

NBC:  The preliminary 1.6 for the 6th and last game of this year’s STANLEY CUP FINALS was up 0.2 from the early number for Thursday’s game.  The night started with a 1.2 DATELINE.

ABC:  A line-up of 0.8-1.2 reruns was capped by a special 20/20 on the Orlando story at 1.2.

FOX:  After 0.3 burn-offs of 2 COOPER BARRETT’S GUIDE TO LIFE episodes, reruns were at 0.4-0.7.

Tonight will be dominated by Game 5 of the NBA FINALS, but there are also a pair of network premieres.  CBS will debut perhaps the summer’s highest-profile new series, BRAINDEAD, which boasts THE GOOD WIFE’s Robert and Michelle King as its creators and a cast headed by Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Tony Shalhoub, while NBC has the reality series SPARTAN: ULTIMATE TEAM CHALLENGE.  On cable, Freeform launches the thriller GUILT.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
