It’s interesting to watch companies salivating over TV spectrum talk about the medium’s increasing irrelevance, and then seeing it demolish cable network offerings week in and week out in the Nielson ratings. For 18-49 during the week ending 4/10/11, it was broadcast 91, cable nine. The best showing for any cable program was a wrestling show coming in at #30.
