Wednesday TV Ratings 6/30/21: MasterChef Remains #1, ABC Game Shows Rise (UPDATED)

Preliminary Analysis: There was hardly anything worth noting on the last day of June in the arena of broadcast TV. 'MasterChef' (0.6) and 'Crime Scene Kitchen' (0.4) lost a few hundredths, but Fox still had the strongest average of the big 4 networks. ABC was steady across the board with middling results from 'Press Your Luck' (0.4), 'The $100,000 Pyramid' (0.4), and 'Card Sharks' (0.3). CBS got decent mileage out of a 'Price Is Right At Night' encore (0.4), but the 'SWAT' reruns (0.2/0.2) that followed were unsatisfactory at best. NBC was on the lower-end with its 'One Chicago' repeat lineup (0.3/0.2/0.3). 'Kung Fu' (0.1) and 'In the Dark' (0.1) made no movement on the CW.

Finals Update: MasterChef (+0.1), Press Your Luck (+0.1), Crime Scene Kitchen (+0.1), The $100,000 Pyramid (+0.1), Card Sharks (+0.!) and repeats of Chicago Fire (+0.1) and SWAT (+0.1) adjusted up.
