Preliminary Ratings: Sunday 06/05/2016

The NBA completely dominated the Sunday night ratings, as Game two drew well over 13 million viewers. That number will grow when finale ratings are released on Tuesday, but the game should be down from game one, given the 110-77 blowout the Warriors posted over the Cavilers. Unfortunately for ABC, the series is looking like a sweep by Golden State, ending the series on Thursday night.

The MISS USA pageant did push FOX into second place, but it was a very, very distant second place. Just four million viewers and a 1.1 rating in Adults 18-49, tuned into the special event. The pageant is down 1.5 million viewers from the 2014 broadcast, on NBC. The 2015 event was not televised by a network.

GAME OF SILENCE went out with a whimper for NBC, posting the night's lowest viewership total. However, all three drama encores, on CBS, delivered worse demo numbers than the freshman series.
