· PSYCH is the #1 scripted hour on cable on Wednesdays for social media mentions in 1Q during its run, with a substantial 57% increase in mentions versus last winter's run.

For the premiere on Wednesday, February 27, the network engaged fans on all platforms, driving the Twitter hashtag #psychisback, to trend worldwide and nationally past the episode's close.
