SMH: Usher’s “Confessions” And Evelyn Lozada’s Tears Give Oprah’s OWN Network Best Cable Ratings Of The Weekend

Posted on September 20, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Fawkery, scandal, and sex always sell best… Usher, Evelyn Lozada Interviews Give Oprah’s OWN Network Best Weekend Ratings Via S2SMagazine OWN had its biggest weekend to date thanks to Evelyn Lozada and Usher. The network has announced that its weekend lineup came in at #1 for Saturday and Sunday among all broadcast and cable with key Black viewing demographics. For starters, “Welcome To Sweetie Pie’s” earned its highest ratings for an episode ever with 766,000 viewers when it returned for the fall premiere on Saturday night. It also placed in the top 5 of all cable shows for women between 25 and 54. The first of the two-part series premiere of “Iyanla: Fix My Life,” which featured Evelyn Lozada, ranked #2 in its time slot on Saturday among women 25-54. Just over 1.1 million viewers tuned in for the Saturday episode, but part two on Sunday received 1.59 million viewers. Those ratings earned it the #3 spot for its time slot on cable among women 25-54 and 18-49. However, it was #1 among Black women 25-54 and 18-49 across broadcast and cable. Meanwhile, Usher’s episode of “Oprah’s Next Chapter” raked in more than 1.5 million viewers, placing the show at #3 for female viewers 25-54 and 18-49 in that time slot on cable. It fared a little better when just looking at Black women viewers in those age groups, coming in at #1 for all broadcast and cable. Oprah better recognize. After all the positive programming she was shooting for, at the end of the day, people want to hear about the DIRT! Might be sad, but it’s damn sure true. Images via WENN/YouTube

Lil Wayne Reveals New Album, Devol, On Way

Posted on April 11, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘It’s my version of love songs,’ Weezy explains in ‘Hip Hop POV’ interview, airing tonight at midnight ET on MTV. By Rob Markman Lil Wayne on “Hip Hop POV” Photo: MTV2 Lil Wayne gets love all around the world, but on his next album, Weezy plans to flip the script. During an exclusive interview with Amanda Seales from MTV’s new weekly late-night talk show “Hip Hop POV,” Wayne revealed that he is working on a new LP called Devol (pronounced “devil”). “That’s ‘loved’ spelled backwards, and it’s my version of love songs,” Tunechi explained. “RapFix Live” premiered the exclusive clip, and fans can watch the entire interview tonight (April 11) at midnight ET on MTV during the series premiere of “Hip Hop POV.” Seales went down to Miami, where she was treated to an intimate listening session by the Young Money boss himself. It’s no secret that Weezy F has a way with the ladies. With songs like “Lollipop” and “She Will,” Wayne has carved out a lane for himself as a hip-hop sex symbol — but he isn’t exactly going all loverboy on us. “What I mean by my version of love songs is meaning they’re not saying, ‘I love you,’ ” he explains in the clip. “It’s all material I did when I was locked up.” Birdman Jr. isn’t the only rap star who will pop up on tonight’s debut: 2 Chainz will join the “Hip Hop POV” castmembers — also including Charlamagne tha God, Devi Dev, Bu Thiam and Sowmya Krishnamurthy — on the show’s premiere. Don’t miss tonight’s premiere episode of “MTV’s Hip Hop POV” at midnight ET on MTV. The conversation-based show highlights some of today’s hottest news and more from a cast of hip-hop tastemakers. Fans can also join in on the Twitter conversation using the hashtag #HipHopPOV. Related Videos ‘RapFix Live’ Gets A New Point Of View Related Artists Lil Wayne

Kourtney & Kim Take New York, Set Ratings Record

Posted on January 25, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The series premiere of Kourtney & Kim Take New York proved that the Apocalypse is upon us set a ratings record for this franchise, garnering three million viewers in its original 10 p.m. time slot. That’s nearly twice as many as tuned in for this week’s episode of Gossip Girl . The above figure represents an increase of 400,000 viewers from the second season premiere of Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami last June and it has to make you think: if this many people follow Kim Kardashian on a weekly basis, she might as well say something worthwhile to them occasionally, right? Below, in a scene 100% unscripted and totally natural, Kanye West pays Kim and Kourtney a visit: Kourtney & Kim Take New York Clip

Lone Star Gets Devoured in the Ratings

Posted on September 21, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Despite near unanimous praise — and Movieline’s approval — a paltry 4 million viewers tuned in to watch the series premiere of Lone Star last night, which is a shame for anyone who likes good network television and not fat jokes . Speaking of which, Mike & Molly was viewed by over 12 million people making it the biggest premiere of the night and moving us one step closer to the end of days. Good choices, everyone! [ HitFix ]
