THE SKED: Summer Broadcast Ratings Update through July 31

The broadcast week just concluded (July 25-31) had absolute parity between the three original broadcast networks, while FOX was able to put together a weekly lead of three-tenths of a rating point.  The twice-weekly Gordon Ramsey duo of Hell's Kitchen and MasterChef, So You Think You Can Dance, and repeat animated comedy on Sunday nights give FOX an edge this late summer period.
