RuPaul's Drag Race is a Ratings Smash


Logo TV has found some footing in the rating game with RuPaul's Drag Race. Over 400,000 viewers tuned in to see the beautiful mess.
This number represents a 50% increase over last season's opener and clocks in as the highest-rated series premiere in Logo history.  Additionally, the 90-minute, super-sized premiere tallied 481,000 total viewers tuning in to meet the new cast of 13 drag queen hopefuls who will fight it out to be crowned "America's Next Drag Superstar."  The fourth season premiere of "RuPaul's Drag Race" reached nearly one million viewers on its' premiere night.  

Maintaining the ratings momentum, the season premiere of the companion series "Untucked: RuPaul's Drag Race" at 10:30PM sped across the finish line with its most-watched premiere ever averaging 254,000 total viewers.
This is the first time Logo has been talked about in a rating positive format. Bravo, Logo TV! Now, continue this success and get rid of the A-List crap.

Hopefully the higher ratings mean more revenue meaning more money for better quality shows.

And no A-list.

Will it be shown on VH1 this year like it was last? I haven't been able to find it. I don't get Logo and my laptop has fits if I try and watch it on that.
