Cable/satellite networks claimed 10 of the top 100 shows for the key 18-49 demo in the latest TV week, according to the data merger by the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVBR) of Nielsen stats for both broadcast and cable/satellite networks. While "American Idol" on Fox was far and away the winner overall, the best performance from the cable/satellite side was #37, "WWE Entertainment" on USA.
