Top 100 Primetime Cable: May 1 - 7, 2017

To say the NBA Playoffs are a hot ticket on cable TV is an understatement, as all 12 games played on cable TV, in primetime, took the top 12 spots of this week's chart. The range of audience levels were from 3.5 million to just under five million. The games also scored the best A18-49 rating, with one game, Houston vs San Antonio, getting a 2.0 rating. That series is the hot series, grabbing three of the top five spots.

THE REAL HOUSEWIVES of ATLANTA was the week's top entertainment program, scoring 3.1 million viewers and a 1.3 rating in Adults 18-49.That is 800,000 more viewers than the #2 reality series, STREET OUTLAWS (#30) hauled in. Outside of sports and news, there were very little entertainment programs in the top 50.

Scripted original programs were scarce and far between. The top ranking of these shows was THE GOOD WITCH (#37), collecting 2.1 million viewers. IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG (#66) was next with 1.8 million viewers. The third and last scripted original on the top 100 was the Hallmark Movie, MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT, ranked 92nd.
