· "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" debuted on Labor Day, September 7 as the #1 non-sports telecast among adults 18-49 and women 18-49 for the day as well as the #1 social show on all of TV.

VH1 also ranks as the #2 cable network on Sunday nights for the quarter among women 18-49 and as a top-10 cable net with Adults 18-49 (#9). The return of "Basketball Wives LA" dominates the evening, driving VH1 to a +123% increase in Sunday night primetime and a +200% increase among Women 18-34.
