Top 100 Primetime Cable: July 17 - 23, 2017

Discovery's annual Shark Week began on Sunday night, and pushed two specials into the top 10. The hyped-up PHELPS vs SHARK hauled in 4.8 million viewers and posted a 1.9 rating in Adults 18-49. It is the most watched Shark Week program in four years, when MEGALODON drew just over 4.8 million viewers.

GAME OF THRONES may have lost 9%, week-to-week, but it dominated the top of the chart. The 4.3 rating in the A18-49 demographic is more than doubled the closest competitor. The episode also collected 9.3 million total viewers. That lead in helped the BALLERS season premiere (#21), generating 2.5 million viewers and a 1.2 demo rating.

DISNEY did very well on Friday night, as the DESCENDANTS 2 movie was #2 on the week, with 5.3 million viewers and the series premiere of RAVEN'S HOME ranked 4th, with 3.5 million viewers. Even the After-Party special ranked 12th on the week, drawing 2.9 million viewers.
