============
Despite airing against heightened competition, Sunday’s edition of ABC’s “Secrets and Lies” bested last week’s episode in adults 18-49 and total viewership.
Per fast national data, this weekend’s “Secrets and Lies,” which faced competition from CBS’ 50th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in addition to HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” drew a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating with 5.05 million viewers.
Last week’s episode posted a 1.3 with 4.85 million viewers.
The improved performance came without corresponding improvement from lead-in “Once Upon a Time.” ABC’s 8PM Sunday drama drew the same 1.6 adults 18-49 rating that it did last week, and its viewership average of 5.12 million was actually down slightly from last week’s 5.17 million.
ABC also aired 7PM staple “America’s Funniest Home Videos” (1.4, 6.38 million) and “Revenge” (1.0, 3.91 million).
