USA was #1 among P25-54 on four of the seven nights of each week in 2Q07. USA was #1 on Monday with WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW, on Thursday with USA television event THE STARTER WIFE and new original series BURN NOTICE, on Friday with acquired movie titles including premieres of NATIONAL TREASURE, SWEET HOME ALABAMA, and THE PACIFIER, and on Saturday with acquired movies as well as LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT.

WWE RAW and THE STARTER WIFE were the top series in 2Q07, delivering more P25-54 (2.36 million and 2.23 million, respectively) and P18-49 (2.61 million and 2.26 million) than any other series. (Series defined as programs with 5+ telecasts, including premieres and repeats)
