Primetime Ratings, Thursday, 7/18/13

Of the five English-language broadcast networks, CBS won in both the 18-49 demo and total viewer races. That said, a fairly rare occurrence took place last night. Spanish-language network Univision topped every other broadcast station in the 18-49 demo. Impressive. If full ratings for Univision's programming were currently available, they would be included below.

'Big Brother' continues to capitalize on controversy, rising two tenths to a season high for CBS. 'Hell's Kitchen' dropped a tenth for FOX. NBC game shows 'The Winner Is...' and 'Hollywood Game Night' both dipped two tenths, although the latter still won its timeslot. A new 'Wipeout' rose a tenth for ABC. 'Motive' matched last week's series low of 0.8, and has to be on its way out soon. The recently renewed 'Rookie Blue' experienced a slight increase, posting a 1.1.
