Top 100 Primetime Cable: January 6 - 12, 2014
The championship game of college football, better known as the BCS title game, was the week's #1 cable program last week. The national title game drew just under 25.6 million viewers and a solid 8.7 rating in Adults 18-49. This is down from last year's game by 800,000 in total viewers and 5% in the A18-49 ratings. This is the last year for the BCS Championship as next season will actually feature a four team playoff system to deter main who it the best team in college football.
MAJOR CRIMES was thew top cable series of the week, grabbing just under five million viewers for TNT. With just one episode remaining before the season ender, MAJOR CRIMES is down from the first half of the season, but did grow as the second half of the season progressed. Perhaps fans were not as aware of the series returning with new episodes this winter and caught on to the new episodes late.
The season premiere of COUGAR TOWN, on TBS, didn't foo great numbers, as it finished 86th for the week.
