Top 100 Primetime Cable: May 22 - 28, 2017

The last games of the two NBA Conference Finals top the week's cable ratings, with TNT's Cavs vs Celtics games taking one & two. Tuesday's game drew over 7 million viewers and a solid 2.8 rating, while the decisive game, on Thursday, collected 5.8 million.

The top third of the chart is filled with news programs from FOX News and MSNBC. Monday's Tucker Carlson was the top news program, with 3.5 million viewers and ranking 4th overall. CNN was not part of the news equation, as only an Anderson Cooper 360 (#48) placed one program in the top 50.

LOVE & HIP HOP: ATL (#19) was the #1 reality program of the week, hauling in 2.5 million viewers and a 1.3 demo rating. STREET OUTLAWS (#26) wasn't too far behind, drawing 2.3 million viewers.

THE GOOD WITCH was tops in scripted cable original series. The Hallmark series brought in just under two million viewers. The Hallmark Saturday night original movie did a little better, collecting just over two million viewers.
