DEADLIEST CATCH Continues a Red Hot Ratings Streak in U.S.

For the fifth consecutive week, Discovery Channel's DEADLIEST CATCH was the #1 non-sports primetime cable telecast of the night for several key demos in delivery, including P25-54, M25-54, P18-49, and M18-49. The series posted a 2.09 HH rating, and placed just behind TNT's NBA Playoffs among P25-54 (1.84) and P18-49 (1.71).

Among ad-supported cable networks, Discovery Channel ranked second among P25-54 and M25-54 delivery for all of primetime Tuesday night. For Tuesday, May 12, the new DEADLIEST CATCH episode (9 PM ET) attracted a larger M18-34 audience than the 9 PM telecast of ABC's Dancing with the Stars.
