Pasiones reached its highest ratings to date drawing in 70,145 Total Viewers in primetime on Tuesday, April 2, according to Comscore.

The network’s record-breaking performance comes on the heels of its HD launch on Spectrum at the start of this month. During the week of April 1 through April 7, the Spanish-language cable network held the top 20 programs among novela networks and outperformed Univision’s tlnovelas in primetime and total day.

Earning more than a 2 to 1 lead over Univision’s tlnovelas in primetime, Pasiones delivered an average audience of 51,643 during its airings of the hit Turkish novelas La Señora Fazilet y Sus Hijas and Elif in the first week of April.

“Pasiones has set rating records for 8 consecutive quarters, and we are thrilled that our commitment to investing in content with high production value and intriguing narratives that captivate and retain viewers has translated into tremendous growth for the network. Pasiones’ superior performance marks the best ratings in the network’s history, and we are confident we will continue to deliver outstanding ratings,” said Alan Sokol, president, and CEO of Hemisphere Media Group, the network’s parent company.
