Top 40 Weekly Cable Ratings: Week of 01/21/13

PAWN STARS is back on top the charts with new episodes on History. America's favorite pawn shop drew over 4.5 million viewers for the two original episodes last Monday, besting USA and its WWE RAW in the 10:00 p.m. hour.

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA was the week's top program in the A18-49 ratings, drawing a 2.0 rating. Unfortunately for Bravo, it was the only show from the cable network to make the top 40.

For the first time, in a while, not a single sports event was in the top 40. Basketball and Hockey just does not have the ratings punch that Football and Baseball have.
