TNT’s final ep of “The Closer” netted 9.1mln viewers Mon night, making it cable’s #1 series telecast for the summer-to-date.

NuvoTV has hit the 30mln sub mark, thanks partly to recent launches in Atlanta, Seattle, Minneapolis-St Paul and the DC area, as well as growth in distribution on Verizon, AT&T and DISH.
