Special Re-Up Edition: NBA Finals Conspiracy

It seems as if this year's NBA Finals may have been one of the highest rated NBA Finals in history. Game 3 garnered a preliminary rating of 5.8 A18-49, which has since adjusted to a 7.3 A18-49 rating.

Tuesday night also showed the season finale of the CW show iZombie, which has garnered a series low 0.5 A18-49 rating, which is not too bad by CW standards. Many commenters on TVByTheNumbers pointed out the impact that the NBA Finals had on the show, with some stating that it has reached ratings levels of The 100.

Tonight, Game 4 will go against Hannibal, Aquarius, Wayward Pines, and the iHeartRadio's Summer Pool Party. The question is, will its impact cause one show to dip towards cancelation? At this point for the beginning of the summer season, it's practically too early to tell.

My ratings predictions are that Hannibal will garner a 0.6 new series low, Wayward Pines will get a 1.0, and Aquarius will be a 0.5 in the A 18-49 rating. The reason why is that having Aquarius as a lead in is questionable at best. Also, it is the summer season and networks have lower expectations.
