Yesterday news broke of a ‘strike’ due to a RHoNY pay stand-off, by the six returning cast of The Real Housewives of New York as they attempt to wangle greater financial rewards from their paymasters Bravo Media. Since 2006 Bravo Media have built a cash generator of massive proportions with their mega-successful franchise and while it’s true that RHoNY last season fell to become the second lowest rated of the Housewives’ franchise (in the USA Anyway), it is still a huge cash cow for Bravo TV and their owners Comcast.

Wednesday night saw two finales, with both The Rachel Zoe Project and It’s A Brad, Brad World airing the last episodes of their current and we predict final Bravo TV seasons. For their farewell episodes Bravo Media sent them out with a boost as at 8:46pm they aired a preview of this coming Sunday’s Secrets Revealed episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Proving both the value of that iteration of the Real Housewives franchise, as well as the importance of a good lead-in, many of the 990,000 (demo 0.50) who watched that preview stayed on as Rachel Zoe posted her second highest ratings of her 5th season and Brad Goreski; his third best. Read more

For Bravo Ratings, last Sunday started phenomenally well with two series highs; Married To Medicine and Fashion Queens and also very high ratings for The Real Housewives of Atlanta at 8pm AND for its repeat airing at 10pm, as well as for Watch What Happens Live. All in, 9.62m viewers watched the 4 hours of television between 8pm & midnight: 3.5m between 8pm-9pm; 2.7m 9pm-10pm; 2.2m 10pm-11pm; and averaging WWHL & Fashion Queens 30 minute audiences; 1.25m between 11pm & midnight. If Bravo Media could replicate those sorts of ratings 5 days per week, Comcast executives would be doing back flips. Read more
