Week 28: Cable puts only 2 in top 100

Broadcast television networks were even more dominant that usual in the latest week's ratings for the key 18-49 demo. According to the weekly number crunch by the TVB, combining both broadcast and cable/satellite data from Nielsen Media Research, cable/satellite networks had only two shows in the top 100. As usual, one was "WWE Entertainment" on USA, logging in at #55. The other was the "Spike TV Movie" airing of "Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace," which was #89.
