Payout Perspective:
290,000 viewers may not seem that high but it is a good sign heading into the final episodes of this season. It was the first week without the Stanley Cup or NBA Finals opposite the telecast if that may have affected viewership. But, it seems more likely that viewers are watching it on their DVR.
