Having a huge, record-setting audience tune-in for the debut of an original series and the show becoming part of the national conversation socially, with #SaintsAndSinners trending alongside The Walking Dead,Downton Abbey and the Democratic Presidential Debate, is a tremendous achievement,” said Jonathan Katz, CEO of Bounce TV.
Bounce says the show was watched by more African Americans than all but two shows on ad-supported cable: AMC’s The Walking Dead and Bravo’s Real Housewives. It topped BET and TV One by healthy margins, according to Bounce based on Nielsen numbers.
The show also popped on social media with #SaintsAndSinners trending nationally on Twitter and Facebook during the premiere.
