The strength of NBCUniversal’s cable portfolio is unmatched. Bravo and USA Network have once again secured their positions as top-five ad-supported cable entertainment networks in the key 18-49 demo, with Bravo ranking #1 among women and USA #1 in live viewership. USA’s “Barmageddon” was the network’s biggest premiere in three years and its #1 series of 2022.

Bravo is home to five of the top 10 unscripted reality shows across cable, and Bravo programming on Peacock is breaking records with the first three months of 2023 ranking as its most-watched on the streamer.

E! and SYFY remain two of cable’s highest-reaching networks. E!’s red carpet franchise, “Live from E!” with Laverne Cox, scored its highest numbers in three years with its 2023 Grammy Awards telecast, and freshmen SYFY originals “Reginald the Vampire” and “The Ark” are two of cable’s biggest breakout hits.
