Week 5: Cable falls to 2 of 100

Cable/satellite networks managed to put only two programs in the top 100 for the key 18-49 demo in week five of the new season. That's according to the weekly number crunch by the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB) of data for both broadcast and subscription TV from Nielsen Media Research. The two entries from the cable side were the usual suspects. ESPN's "Monday Night Football" was #9 and "WWE Entertainment" on USA claimed the #78 spot.
