Top 100 Primetime Cable: October 14 - 20, 2013
Sports and horror dominate the top of this week's cable chart, lead by the #1 program on cable TV THE WALKING DEAD.
For the second straight week, THE WALKING DEAD tops both NFL games, with 14 million viewers and a dominate 7.1 rating in Adults 18-49. That is two million more viewers than the Monday Night Football game (#2) and an advantage of 51% in the demo rating.
Staying in the horror genre, companion series TALKING DEAD placed 7th for the week, collecting just under five million viewers. AMERICAN HORROR STORY scared up 4.5 million viewers to place in the 9th position.
Of the seven remaining spots in the top 10, sports takes five of them. MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL was the top game of the week, with 12 million viewers. The final game of the NLCS finished 4th, with over 6 million viewers. Two more NLCS games and the NFL Thursday night game fill out the top 10.
Reality hit, DUCK DYNASTY, was the week's #3 program of the week, with 7.3 million viewers. Although it is a big hit, when comparing MNF and THE WALKING DEAD to it, the numbers look a little smaller. But what is may lack in size, it makes up in quantity. A total of 11 episodes of DUCK DYNAST makes this week's top 100.
