BET’s CEO, Debra Lee hosted an intimate dinner sponsored by Hennessy Privilege in honor of the premiere of BET’s new original scripted series ‘The Game’ at Butter Restaurant. According to reports, The Game set a ratings record for BET, attracting 7.7 million viewers. The ratings were the 2nd highest in the networks history behind The 2009 BET Awards which was broadcast 3 days after Michael Jackson’s death. To put those numbers in perspective, The Game averaged 2.3 million viewers during Season One on The CW, 2.07 million viewers during Season 2 and 1.68 million viewers during Season 3.(The poor ratings during
Season 3 could have been contributed to the fact that CW moved it to a Friday time slot).
Tia Mowry’s husband Cory tweeted that the Game’s ratings were the highest rated show in cable history. Although, I haven’t been able double check the stats on that, the Season 4 finale of the very popular reality show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” drew 4.8 million viewers for E! last year which was E!’s biggest audience ever. MTV’s highly popular show Jersey Shore premiered recently with 8.4 million viewers ….so The Cast of the Game has a lot to celebrate.
