In only its second week, GHOST LAB bested its household numbers from its series premiere last week, going from .79 HH to 1.11 HH, a 41% increase. GHOST LAB also saw a big bump in M18-34 with a whooping 87% increase from last week, +47% for M18-49 and 28% higher P25-54.

DIRTY JOBS continued strong with 1.38 HH and 0.91 in the key P25-54 demo. DIRTY JOBS was the #3 primetime cable telecast for M25-54 delivery (660K) and ranked at #5 for M18-49 (691K).

GHOST LAB follows brothers Brad and Barry Klinge as they take their mobile lab on the road to uncover the truth behind America�s most haunted sites. From a music hall where Elvis is believed to have never left the building to Civil War battlefields where the fallen are still heard, Brad and Barry employ the latest technology to research the supernatural and separate fact from fiction.
