When is the real housewives of new york?

New episodes of The Real Housewives of New York air Mondays at 9pm/8central on Bravo. Season 5 just premiered with a special one-and-a-half hour episode on June 4, 2012.

The new season has many changes. Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Kelly Killoren-Bensimon and Cindy Barshop from season 4 were not asked back by Bravo. As a result, they added 3 new women, Aviva Dresher, Carole Radziwill and Heather Thomson.

Early ratings numbers show that there has been a dip in viewership. The season 4 premiere drew 1,965,000 viewers, while the season 5 premiere s only brought in 1.7 million viewers. Some of the drop might be attributed to the program moving from Thursday nights to Monday nights.
