Primetime Cable Ratings: May 14, 2015

The ratings for the NBA Playoffs continue to improve, as the early game of the NBA doubleheader drew 6.6 million viewers and a 2.6 rating in Adults 18-49. That is the best numbers for a game, in primetime, this playoff season.

HGTV did well, pushing two hours of programming into the top 15, lead by a double dose of HOUSE HUNTERS, in the 10 p.m. hour. The two episodes stayed even with reruns of THE BIG BANG THEORY for the best numbers, outside of sports, for the hour.
