Primetime Cable Ratings: August 7, 2014

PAWN STARS leads a Thursday night on cable that features more broadcast reruns than cable original programs. The reality series averaged three million viewers for the two episodes, during the 9 p.m. hour. That is down over 10% from last week. The demo ratings were down 20%, from last week, as the two episodes each brought in 0.8 ratings.

Following PAWNS STARS was the spin-off game show, PAWNOGRAPHY, which had its season finale. Just one of the two episodes made the top 10, but the series averaged two million viewers. The ratings for the spin-off are good enough to warrant a second season, perhaps even more episodes in 2014?

PROJECT RUNWAY placed 9th on the night, also with two million viewers. That is a jump of about 10% from last week and about 23% from two weeks ago.
