Cable/Satellite networks put seven shows in the top 100 for the key 18-49 demo, although none made the top 50.

The best performer was "WWE Entertainment" on USA at #64. The weekly number crunch to combine broadcast and cable data from The Nielsen Company is by the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB).
