SUNDAY JULY 19, 2015 CABLE TV RATINGS

Discovery's NAKED AND AFRAID XL led the Sunday cable ratings among adults 18-49 (1.22 rating) and 25-54 (1.39), and was one of only a handful of programs to average more than 3 million viewers. HBO brought its usual solid numbers with TRUE DETECTIVE (2.4 million), BALLERS (1.6 million), THE BRINK (1.1 million), and LAST WEEK TONIGHT (1.0 million), all up slightly from last week's numbers, but BRINK up the best (from 989,000). Elsewhere on premium cable, RAY DONOVAN, on Showtime, was up from last week's premiere to 1.26 million (from 1.04 mil) and MASTERS OF SEX dropped to another series-low 535,000 (and a minuscule 0.09 in the demo). Over at Disney Channel, LIV AND MADDIE scored the day's best F12-34 numbers (1.25) and had the net's best viewership (2.25 million); KC UNDERCOVER was similarly strong in both metrics (1.05 rating/2.17 million) as was BEST FRIENDS WHENEVER (0.97 rating/1.96 million). Other top performers in that demo were Food Network's FOOD NETWORK STAR (0.78), and VH1's BASKETBALL WIVES LA (0.69). Other programs of note on the day include TNT's THE LAST SHIP (3.02 million) & FALLING SKIES (1.96 million), AMC's HUMANS (1.05 million) & HALT AND CATCH FIRE (497,000), and Smithsonian's MY MILLION DOLLAR INVENTION (100,000).
