Top 40 Weekly Cable Ratings: Week of 11/05/12

With exception of MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL and THE WALKING DEAD, the top 15 programs are Election night related. FOX News Channel posted four of the top five news coverage spots, but it and CNN did well in the ratings on November 6th. MSNBC did receive elevated numbers, but nothing close to what the big boys can do.
