‘Floribama Shore’ Premiere a Ratings Win for MTV

It looks like MTV has another hit on its hands!

The series premiere of Floribama Shore, a Jersey Shore spin-off, drew 846,000 total viewers, according to Deadline, and debuted with a rating of 0.94 in the core 18 to 34-year-old demographics group.

That makes it MTV’s biggest new series launch in three years and second biggest in total viewers.
