TBS has Atomic ratings

By Allison Romano -- Broadcasting & Cable, 6/11/2002 11:43:00 AM

TBS Superstation scored a spectacular 5.9 rating for the June 9 premiere of its latest original movie, Atomic Twister. It's the best rating for a cable original movie so far this year. A second play later that night scored a 3.6 rating, according to Nielsen Media Research data.

Atomic bolstered TBS' prime time ratings to a 1.9 average for the week of June 3 through 9. Only Lifetime Television earned a higher average in prime time, with a 2.1. Turner Network Television tied with sister network TBS for second with a 1.9.

The MTV 2002 Movie Awards nabbed a 5.6 rating June 6 (particularly impressive since the taped show revealed days-old results) and the post-award show logged a 3.2. MTV: Music Television finished the week with a 1.5 in prime time.

The June 4 season finale of The Shield earned a 3.9 rating. FX finished the week with a 1.2 rating in prime time.
