Primetime Cable Ratings: May 4, 2015

The NBA Playoffs are in the second round and the viewership bumped up a notch. The two TNT games averaged 4.6 million viewers and a strong 1.9 rating in Adults 18-49, easily topping the average of first round games. However, there will be fewer games to air.

RAW was down a bit, averaging just 3.6 million viewers and a 1.1 demo rating. That is down a tenth of a point, in the demo, and off by about 150,000 in viewership, from last week's numbers.

The night's only scripted, original cable series to reach the top 15, was BATES MOTEL, at #14. The A&E production collected 1.7 million viewers and a 0.7 demo. That is on par with what the series brought in last week.
