    Do you have ‘Doctor Who: The Faceless Ones (BBC America at 8PM)’ ratings, please?


  2. Augus

    “Death in Paradise” ratings at 7, 8, 9 and 10PM (season one finale) on Ovation ratings? Thanks for all


  3. Destiny

    CNN must surely be hoping for a Trump win as what else will save their ratings? When they have no controversies or election coverage their 18-49 demo numbers are Freeform level at best.


  4. Jeff

    Do you happen to know the Norway vs Serbia Euro Qualifier rating ESPN2 at 2:30pm?
    Thanks
