Additionally, E! was the second fastest growing top 30 network (based on impressions gained) in primetime.

E!'s momentum has been driven by a variety of hit franchises such as "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," including the two-part special "Keeping Up with the Kardashians: About Bruce," which aired May 17 and May 18 and delivered 7.7M total unique viewers in L3s across both airings with part one averaging a season high and marking the most-watched episode since 2012 with A18-49.

The third season of popular reality series "#RichKids of Beverly Hills" (Sundays at 10pm) is averaging 590K P18-49 and 872K P2+.

Also contributing to E!'s growth in second quarter was the network's highly popular scripted series "The Royals," which ranks as the top new scripted drama in cable for the year (excluding spin-offs) and will return in its second season this November. The first season of the series concluded on May 17 scoring 1.1M A18-49 in L3s, consistent with the overall season average.
