The top ten shows on HBO and Showtime in June 2015

• June was a busy month on HBO Go. The online streaming service is free for HBO’s cable and satellite TV subscribers who can watch shows on their smartphones, tablets, and computers. HBO Go’s Top 10 shows last month accounted for 58.36% of all HBOgo.com traffic last month.
• After Game of Thrones aired its Season 6 finale on June 14, 2015, it appears that the fans binged on the show’s episodes in June. GoT secured 72.78% of online traffic for the Top 10 shows, and a phenomenal 42.5% of all HBO Go’s online traffic for the month.
• HBO’s second-most popular show is Season 2 of the gritty police drama True Detective. The show stars Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams as a detectives in Los Angeles-area suburbs, with Taylor Kitsch as a California Highway Patrol officer, and Vince Vaughn as a down-on-his-luck entrepreneur with a tough criminal persona.
• While GoT led the network, seven of the Top 10 shows on HBO Go last month were comedies. This includes Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, the Season 2 of nerdy comedy Silicon Valley, Real Time with Bill Maher, Entourage and Veep.
• Two shows that premiered in June seem to be doing well. This includes Ballers with Dwayne Johnson who stars as a heavily concussed retired NFL star working as a financial manager for professional athletes in Miami. Another comedy, The Brink, stars Jack Black as a U.S. foreign service officer in Pakistan who becomes a hapless CIA officer.
• HBO’s investigative news show Vice rounded out last month’s Top 10 list as HBO Go’s eighth most popular program.

Top Shows on HBO (hbo.com) in June 2015:

• The Top 10 shows on the network’s main website, HBO.com, brought in just 16.11% of all traffic to HBO.com in June 2015.
• There are two main differences between the website traffic for HBO Go and HBO.
• First, people were going to HBO’s main site to get more information about two older, hard-edged crime shows, The Wire and The Sopranos. This meant that HBO’s two newest comedies, Ballers and The Brink, didn’t make HBO’s Top 10 list.
• Next, the Hollywood dramedy Entourage had more than half of the traffic that GoT secured on HBO.com.
