Preliminary Ratings: Sunday 06/07/15

ABC dominated the Sunday night ratings, with live coverage of game two, of the NBA Finals. The numbers should rise above Thursday night's game, which was the best numbers for a Finals game #1, in over a decade. The pre-game shows, KIMMEL and COUNTDOWN should lose a large portion of their preliminary numbers.

The TONY AWARDS helped push CBS to a very distant #2 ranking on the night. The lesser of the major awards telecasts only managed 6.4 million viewers and all demo were under a 1.0

NBC topped FOX in total viewers, but struggled to match FOX in the two younger demographic categories.
