Broadcasting networks claimed 89 of the top 100 shows for the past week in the key 18-49 demo, according to the merger of broadcast and cable/satellite data from Nielsen by the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB). That decent showing of 11 for cable/satellite was fueled by the NBA All-Star weekend events on TNT, which put four different shows in the top 100. The game itself was the highest-rated show for cable, at #25.
