WBD says 6 of its networks entered US Top 10 in 2022

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has said TBS, TNT, TLC, Discovery, HGTV, Food Network, Investigation Discovery, Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, OWN and others in the group together deliver nearly one-third of nightly cable audience

Close to 30 networks that comprise the US Networks Group at Warner Bros. Discovery, including TBS, TNT, TLC, Discovery, HGTV, Food Network, Investigation Discovery, Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, OWN and others, delivered more than 138 million total viewers on average per month in 2022, the media giant said in a startement earlier in the week.

Six of the networks ranked among the top 10 cable networks for the year 2022, it said, adding together the networks in the group accounted for nearly 31 percent of all P25-54/P18-49 primetime cable viewing and outperformed competitors with 17 of the top 30 top-rated unscripted freshman series in primetime.

“This strong performance is a testament to the power of our stellar brands, our unique content and our loyal fans who come to our networks because we have the content and the talent that fuels their passions,” said Kathleen Finch, Chairman and Chief Content Officer, US Networks Group, Warner Bros. Discovery, in a statement.

“We’re planning to commission over 4,000 premiere hours across our portfolio of networks in 2023, so we are well positioned to keep our momentum going,” she added.

For 2022, TNT and TBS ranked as the #1 and #2 cable entertainment networks in prime among P25-54 and held three of cable’s top 10 dramas and comedies in the demo.

Discovery Channel ended 2022 as a top five cable network among M25-54 and a top 10 cable network among P25-54, owning more than half of the top 10 unscripted cable series among M25-54—more than any other network.

Driven by the popular ‘Gold Rush’ franchise, Discovery also ranked as the #1 non-sports cable network on Friday nights among P25-54 and M25-54.

In 2022, HGTV ranked as a top 10 cable network among P25-54 and W25-54 every night of the week in total day and prime as well as a top 5 cable network among W25-54 in both total day and prime. The smash hit competition series ‘Rock the Block’ was the network’s highest-rated title of the year among P25-54 and W25-54 and posted its highest-rated season yet among both demos. Food Network ended 2022 as a top five cable network among W25-54 in total day and prime. ‘Tournament of Champions’ was the network’s highest-rated title of the year among P25-54 and posted its highest-rated season yet among W25-54, while the latest season of ‘Holiday Baking Championship’ ranked as the highest-rated title of the year among W25-54.

For the third year in a row, TLC, bolstered by smash hits, including the ‘90 Day Fiancé’ franchise and ‘Sister Wives’, continued its run as the #1 cable primetime network without sports among W25-54, W18-49 and W18-34. Excluding both news and sports, TLC also ranked as the #1 primetime cable network among key demos, including P25-54 and W25-54.
