- Broadcast's top program on a very slow Wednesday was an O.J. Simpson trial retrospective (1.4). All original series were down, including the season finale of The 100 (0.5) and a double-burnoff of Growing Up Fisher (0.9/0.9). It was particularly rough for Motive (0.8), which dropped three tenths alongside declining comedy repeats.
- Cable notes:
- Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals (1.3) on NBCSN was a tick ahead of Game 3. Better yet, the series isn't getting clinched on a cable channel with modest coverage; the Rangers extended the series to a Game 5, Friday on NBC.
- We officially have another Jersey Shore situation in Duck Dynasty (1.8). Its last summer premiere ten months ago averaged a 5.0, making this a sixty-four percent year-to-year decline. And it was still pulling mid-2's for much of its most recent run less than three months ago...
- And USA's second straight premiere night saw Suits (0.8) and Graceland (0.6) each return considerably below last summer's respective 1.1/0.8 premieres. This is about what Suits was getting in the spring.
