Big news for USA Network as the new decade kicks off: The channel ends 2019 as the #1 cable entertainment network in the P18-49 demo for the third consecutive year, and the P25-54 demo for the second consecutive year!
Several key series boosted the network to the top spot. WWE Monday Night Raw was the #1 Cable Entertainment Program on Mondays, as well as the #1 Most Social Primetime Series in all of television.
It was an especially standout year for USA’s unscripted series. Looking across the television industry, Chrisley Knows Best was the #1 VOD Cable Unscripted Series, and Straight Up Steve Austin the #1 New Unscripted Cable Series for Men (18-49, 25-54).
Additionally on USA, Temptation Island sizzled as the network’s #1 New Series (Scripted or Unscripted) and Miz & Mrs did an absolutely awesome job as its #1 Returning Unscripted series. Treadstone crushed as USA’s #1 New Drama, while Queen of the South was its #1 Returning Drama.
USA readies itself for another standout year, kicking off with the debut of The Biggest Loser on January 28 and the return of Miz & Mrs on January 29. February 6 will see the premiere of Sam Esmail’s Briarpatch, as well as a new story of critically-acclaimed thriller The Sinner.
The wins solidified USA as a #1 Network in Prime for 14 consecutive years.
— WWE issued their own statement on the matter:
There’s plenty for Monday Night Raw and USA Network to toast as a new decade kicks off.
Raw finished as the No. 1 cable entertainment program on Mondays and the No. 1 most social primetime series in all of television.
The debut of “Straight Up Steve Austin” also flexed its muscle with support from the WWE Universe as the No. 1 unscripted cable series for men in the key 18-49 and 25-54 demographics.
The first Raw of 2020 was highlighted by Brock Lesnar’s historic Royal Rumble proclamation, a brutal U.S. Title showdown between Andrade and Rey Mysterio and the massive return of Big Show as the Monday Night leader showed no signs of slowing the momentum.
