Wednesday April 6, 2016 Nielsen Finals

'NBA Basketball' between the Rockets and Mavericks, on ESPN, led a crowded, but low-rated day on Wednesday cable with a 0.62 key demo rating and 1.46 million viewers. The game also led cable in the major male demos, including males 12-34 (0.83 rating) and men 18-49 (0.92). On MTV, 'Catfish' (933,000 viewers) brought in the day's best figures in major female demos, notching a 0.86 in F12-34 and 0.72 in W18-49, and is one of MTV's best performing programs. Some other top performing programs in F12-34 include Freeform's 'Baby Daddy' (0.48, 592,000 viewers) and 'Young and Hungry' (0.44, 538,000), as well as Bravo's 'Real Housewives of NYC' (0.45, 1.25 million) though the latter program performed much better in W18-49 (0.7). Over at FX, 'The Americans' (1.04 million) saw its best viewership figures since the season premiere (1.11 million), rebounding nicely from last week's near series-low (820,000). Other scripted series on the night include 'Underground' (0.34/978,000) on WGN America, 'The Soul Man' (0.12/398,000) on TV Land, 'Schitt's Creek' (0.04/224,000) on Pop, and 'Hap and Leonard' (0.05/192,000) on Sundance TV. Elsewhere was VH1's 'Family Therapy' (0.34/670,000), Comedy Central's 'Broad City' (0.34/591,000), and Syfy's 'Faceoff' (0.28/817,000).
