Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” brawl on Sunday’s reunion special saw double-digit increases in viewership year-over-year.
Also, the ratings are in for OWN’s “Lindsay” finale, USA Network’s “Chrisley Knows Best” season-ender and “Lifetime’s “True Tori” premiere.
The first installment of the “RHOA” three-part reunion earned 4.1 total viewers and 2.3 million in the advertiser-coveted Adults 18-49 demographic. That represents a 14 percent increase in total viewers (vs. 3.6 million), but there was a slight 4 percent decrease in the advertiser demo over last season’s first reunion special (vs. 2.4 million viewers).
Another headline-making story on Sunday was generated by the finale of OWN’s “Lindsay,” in which Lindsay Lohan said she suffered a miscarriage during the shooting of the series. The finale didn’t perform as well as one would expect considering the buzz that it generated.
