It was a tough week for cable/satellite networks. Not a single show made the top 50 in the melding of broadcast and cable/satellite ratings data from Nielsen by the Television Bureau of Advertising.


With "American Idol" on Fox and the Grammy Awards on CBS at the top of the list in the key 18-49 demo, the best showing by cable/satellite was #68 "WWE Entertainment" on USA. Only four other cable/satellite shows made the top 100.
