Airing opposite the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, Sunday’s “Game of Thrones” suffered losses in adults 18-49 and total viewership.<\/p>\n
The latest edition of the HBO flagship posted a 3.14 adults 18-49 rating with 6.24 million viewers.<\/p>\n
Both numbers were down from last week’s broadcast, which drew a 3.48 rating with 6.60 million viewers. The marks are the lowest since the season three finale, which drew a 2.9 rating and reached 5.39 million viewers on June 9, 2013.<\/p>\n
While one cannot ignore the competitive impact of the Billboard Music Awards, it is worth noting that last season’s most-watched episode aired opposite ABC’s 2014 BBMA.<\/p>\n
Despite the drop-off, Sunday’s “GoT” was still a dominant cable force. It was Sunday night’s highest-rated and most-watched cable program.<\/p>\n
Among all network offerings, it was the night’s #2 program in adults 18-49 and #5 show in total viewership.<\/p>\n
Sunday’s HBO lineup also included “Silicon Valley” (0.84 with 1.54 million vs. a 0.92 with 1.53 million), “Veep” (0.40 with 0.74 million viewers vs. a 0.43 with 0.82 million) and “Last Week Tonight” (0.50 with 1.036 million vs. a 0.59 with 1.20 million).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048,437],"tags":[2026,78,3714,2152,2151],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
