TV Ratings: NBA Finals Hit Audience High With Game 4, Love Island Steady

In the latest TV ratings, ABC's Wednesday-night coverage of the NBA Finals Game 4 easily hit an audience high for this year's championship series, drawing 7.4 million total viewers (per fast affiliate numbers).[pmc_inline_gallery] That total will of course swell once the Nielsen finals trickle in.

CBS' Big Brother (3.5 mil/0.8) took a hit week-to-week opposite ABC's pre-game programming and was down a tick from Sunday, while Love Island (1.7 mil/0.3) was steady for a fourth straight outing.

Over on The CW, Kung Fu (780K/0.1) and In the Dark (410K/0.1) each dropped a handful of eyeballs while steady in the demo.

Fox's MasterChef (2.5 mil/0.6) and Crime Scene Kitchen (1.8 mil/0.4) were both steady.
