Broadcast claims top 49 for week 17

Despite the continuing writers strike, broadcast television networks had the top 49 shows for week 17 of the TV season in the key 18-49 demo and claimed 94 of the top 100. The weekly number crunch by the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB) combines Nielsen Media Research data for both broadcast and ad-supported cable/satellite networks. The highest-ranking cable show, claiming that #50 spot, was “WWE Entertainment” on USA.
