FRIDAY AUGUST 14, 2015 CABLE TV RATINGS

There was fierce competition at the top the Friday cable ratings with the day's top five programs all within three-hundredths of a demo point in adults 18-49. Discovery's TREASURE QUEST: SNAKE edged out a victory though with a 0.52 rating, a 0.62 in P25-54, and just under 1.6 million viewers. Lifetime's BRING IT! and two NFL PRESEASON games on NFL Network all tied for second among adults 18-49 (0.50 rating) though BRING led all programming in adults 18-34 (0.44) and was second in females 12-34 (0.79). Kind of interestingly, BRING IT! and the Titans/Falcons NFL GAME also tied among total viewers with both logging 1.369 million. Over at Disney Channel, GIRL MEETS WORLD won the day in both the F12-34 demo (1.08 rating) and total viewers (2.2 million), and was second in P18-34 (0.41). Lead-in & lead-out BUNK'D and I DIDN'T DO IT were at 0.73/0.71 in F12-34 and 1.8 million/1.6 million in total viewers respectively. Other programs of note include Syfy's DARK MATTER (844,000), DEFIANCE (1.1 million), & KILLJOYS (897,000), HBO's REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER (1.1 million), and Cinemax's STRIKE BACK (221,000).
