Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 8/1/12

WHAT MATTERS:

• Though down a lot from Day 5, the Summer Olympics were still on the upside vs. the corresponding night in Beijing (+5%).

• A slower Olympics night seemed to mean generally smaller hits to the broadcast and cable competition, though ABC's Melissa & Joey (0.5) and Baby Daddy (0.4) had a really bad week.
