Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS: See Mitch Metcalf’s Convention Ratings Analysis post for more detail on last night’s coverage. In broad strokes, it was another big night for CNN, which had 5 of the Top 10 pieces of programming for the night, topped by the 11PM hour (the bulk of President Obama’s speech) at 1.47. MSNBC was again in 2d position, with 3 shows in the Top 10, also led by the 11PM hour at 0.91, and once again, FOX News viewers spent the evening doing something else, with 0.42 in its 11PM hour. A special HBO hour of REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER was at 0.15, better than the night’s ANY GIVEN WEDNESDAY at 0.08.

The highest-rated non-convention programming was OWN’s GREENLEAF, down 0.03 to 0.61. On Lifetime, LITTLE WOMEN LA rose 0.12 to 0.58, and LITTLE WOMEN ATLANTA was down a tick to 0.48. On USA, SUITS gained 0.05 to 0.54, but MR. ROBOT continued downward, in what must be a sharp disappointment for the network, off by 0.04 to 0.26. A&E’s DUCK DYNASTY was at 0.48/0.44, compared to last week’s pair of 0.42s, then WAHLBURGERS was up 0.02 to 0.32, and BLACK & WHITE premiered at 0.13.
