Last night's ECW On Sci Fi rating kept the string of strong ratings for the brand continuing doing a 2.3 cable rating with a 4 share which is the same number it did last week.

Last week ECW was the highest rated show on basic cable with that rating so the fact that ECW did not lose viewers is one positive. What is really positive is the overrun rating. The show started out with a 2.4 quarter, it dropped to a 2.1 for the second quarter, did a 2.2 for the next two quarters and did a very strong 2.6 for the overrun bringing the total to 2.3.

Sci Fi continues to be happy with the brand since it's debut on Sci Fi on June 13 and these numbers will definitely keep the network happy.
