For Sunday, June 7, 2015 (Posted on June 8, 2015)
ABC #1 on Sunday as ‘2015 NBA Playoffs Game 2’ top program with over 15.6 million viewers.
ABC
The Alphabet Network powered up on Sunday with another amazing basketball matchup as it was a all-live Sunday in prime time. At 7P, ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ drew an average 7.91 million viewers and a 2.8/5. Then at 730P, ‘The NBA Countdown’ finished with an average 9.27 million viewers and a 3.5/7. At 8P, the ‘2015 NBA Finals-Game #2’ was again as exciting as a game can get as the Cleveland Cavs beat the Golden State Warriors by two, 95-93 in overtime and it drew an average 15.62 million viewers and a 12.8/22. The game peaked at 11P with 24.4 million viewers. Note: Due to the nature of live sport ratings, ABC”s ratings should be considered tentative and are likely to be adjusted in the final numbers.
CBS
The Tiffany Network went nearly all-live as well as it lived up to its name on Sunday and then some. At 7P, a rerun update of ’60 Minutes’ drew an 8.20 average million viewers, winning the first half hour. From then on, the network was in second place for the remainder of the evening. But it was at 8P it shined. The night was devoted to Broadway and in the tradition of the Great White Way, ‘The 69th Annual Tony Awards’ were spectacular as it drew an average 6.35 million viewers and a 5.1/8. Amazingly, it finished exactly on time, one of the few award shows to ever do that. And it once again, hooked you in and delivered an amazing amount of spectacle as we were allowed to look into this year’s Broadways shows. It remains ‘Only on CBS’. They should be proud of that. For a list of award winners, see below.
NBC
The Peacock Network was an also ran on Sunday with an all original airing of programming. At 7P, ‘Dateline’ finished #3 in the time slot with an average 4.59 million viewers and a 3.1/6.

At 730P, another rerun of ‘Bob’s Burgers’ drew an average 1.33 million viewers and an 0.8.2. At 8P, a rerun of ‘The Simpsons’ drew an average 1.98 million viewers and a 1.2/2 for the top program on the network on Sunday. Wow! Not a single program finished above The Mendoza Line.
