Top 100 Primetime Cable: January 13 - 19, 2014

DUCK DYNASTY is back and is the new king of cable TV. The two episode season premiere averaged 8.5 million viewers and a 3.4 rating in Adults 18-49. That is about where the recent Christmas episode ratings were, but compared to the season four premiere, in August 2013, the series is down over 3 million viewers and more than one and a half pints in the demographic ratings.  A more comparable look at the Season three opener, later winter 2013, is roughly the same numbers as this season five premiere.

LIFETIME caught a spark with a movie remake, based on the VC Andrews series FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC. The movie collected 6.1 million viewers, on a Saturday night, beating everything on Cable and Broadcast TV. Look for more movies based on the series soon.

Disney also had movie success with CLOUD 9, on Friday night, with five million viewers tuning in on a Friday night. Who would have thought that cable TV would be the destination for for weekend SCRIPTED programming.
