ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. - January 6, 2014 - The off-network debut of SHARK TANK on CNBC delivered the network's largest prime-time audience of adults 25-54 in six years.

During its peak hours, CNBC averaged nearly 700,000 total viewers and 300,000 adults 25-54, ranking #1 during the 10PM hour among all cable news networks in A18-49, A25-54 and A35-64 viewership.

The sharks include billionaire Mark Cuban, owner and chairman of AXS TV and outspoken owner of the 2011 NBA championship Dallas Mavericks; real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran; "Queen of QVC" Lori Greiner; technology innovator Robert Herjavec; fashion and branding expert Daymond John; and venture capitalist Kevin O'Leary.
