Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS: Naturally FOX News romped on the final night of the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION, peaking at a 1.57 demo rating and 9.7M total viewers in the 10PM hour. CNN was considerably behind in the hour at 1.28/5.8M.

Nickelodeon’s LOUD HOUSE was at #19 with 0.42, and Tru’s IMPRACTICAL JOKERS was right behind, down 0.13 to 0.41.
