SpotVault - Preacher (AMC) - Summer 2018 Ratings

Cablemetrics: Preacher, Power, Queen Sugar, Wrecked, Playing House

These numbers are current through Monday, June 26.

WHAT MATTERS:

• AMC paired its sophomore drama Preacher (0.58) with Fear the Walking Dead (0.96) for a one-time preview on Sunday, then moved the show to its regular Monday timeslot with a 0.43. That 0.43 is barely half of where Preacher started its "regular" run a year ago, but still managed to match the low point from season one. That number was actually achieved early last season, before it grew to 0.5 and eventually a bunch of 0.6's late last season.

Cablemetrics: Mr. Robot, Suits, The Night Of, Tyrant

These numbers are current through Wednesday, July 13.

WHAT MATTERS:

• The double-episode return of USA's heavily-acclaimed Mr. Robot averaged a 0.43 demo, narrowly dodging the 0.42 season low from last year and not far behind the 0.46 season premiere and finale.
• There are a couple ways of looking at this. The natural reaction is probably: "Boy, all that hype did nothing for the ratings!" The way I look at it is two-fold: first, being down 7% year-to-year is a really good trend on cable nowadays. But I'm also kinda cautious because there's a lingering possibility that the hype did do something for the ratings, and this 0.43 is actually inflated compared with what's to come. If it holds up as well post-premiere as it did last year, I think USA's gonna be pretty happy. But let's wait a week and see if that happens.

Cablemetrics: Preacher, Ray Donovan, Wrecked, Animal Kingdom, Dead of Summer

These numbers are current through Tuesday, July 5.

WHAT MATTERS:

• In the first week without Game of Thrones, nothing in the table broke a 1.0. But the lack of Thrones may have helped some other male-skewing players in the Sunday landscape; both Preacher (0.51) and Ray Donovan (0.33) upticked on Sunday, even on a low-viewed holiday weekend night. The only of the Sunday 9/8c staples that seemed to suffer from the holiday at all was The Last Ship (0.41).

Cablemetrics: Preacher, Feed the Beast, Scream, UnREAL, Angie Tribeca, Girl Meets World, Game of Thrones

These numbers are current through Monday, June 6.

WHAT MATTERS:

• AMC's Preacher (0.80) looked pretty legit in its Sunday 9/8c debut, dropping by just a tenth after taking last week off and losing its Fear the Walking Dead lead-in. Leading out of Preacher, a preview of Feed the Beast (0.31) was less promising, and its first results in its regular Tuesday slot will be coming in later today.
  

Cablemetrics: Preacher, Game of Thrones, Fear the Walking Dead, Royal Pains

These numbers are current through Monday, May 23.

WHAT MATTERS:

• On a busy final Sunday of the traditional regular season, AMC previewed its new drama Preacher (0.90) at 10/9c after the season finale of Fear the Walking Dead (1.88). Preacher can be a long-term AMC player if it holds anywhere close to that, of course, though it is worth noting that Into the Badlands had very similar retention of a much larger lead-in (3.15 out of 6.51) back in the fall. Preacher also has to wait two weeks for its next original episode, as it will sit out Memorial Day weekend next Sunday.
