TNT

Driven by the strength of its hit original series and NASCAR coverage, TNT won the week as basic cable's #1 network in primetime delivery of its targeted adults 25-54 demo. In total viewers, TNT's Rizzoli & Isles, Major Crimes and NASCAR coverage accounted for basic cable's Top 4 programs for the week, and Rizzoli & Isles and Major Crimes were joined by Falling Skies and Perception in giving TNT four of the week's Top 6 original dramas on basic cable.

This past Sunday's episode of Falling Skies has gotten off to a great start, with 3.5 million viewers in Live + Same Day (+8% over the prior episode), 1.8 million adults 25-54 (+12%) and 1.5 million adults 18-49 (+13%). Meanwhile, the June 30 episode of Falling Skies has grown to more than 5 million viewers in Live + 3. Among key demos, the episode has garnered 2.6 million adults 25-54 and 2.2 million adults 18-49, growing slightly in the latter demo compared to the prior week.

TNT's exclusive presentation of the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona powered by Coca Cola ranked as basic cable's #1 sports program for the week among total viewers (5.7 million) and the #1 program overall among adults 25-54 (2.5 million).
