Week 19: Cable puts 10 in top 100 with boost from Dem debate
Font size:
With the Super Bowl, post-game show and "American Idol" powering Fox to easy domination of the 18-49 demo and pretty much every other demo in the latest week's Nielsen ratings, cable still had a fairly strong week, with 10 of the top 100 shows in the big money demo. The weekly number crunch of broadcast and cable ratings by the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB) found CNN's live coverage of the Democratic presidential candidates debate in California the top show on cable/satellite, coming in at #30 over all.
