Top 100 Primetime Cable: February 3 - 9, 2014
THE WALKING DEAD is back, kicking butt, and taking names. The 4th season, mid-season premiere drew 15.8 million viewers and an 8.2 rating in Adults 18-49, nearly equaling the season premiere, last October. The opening episode out performed the Winter Olympics, on NBC, in the A18-49 ratings. The series also placed two encore episodes within the top 20.Companion series TALKING DEAD also had a terrific mid-season premiere, taking the third spot for the week, with 5.9 million viewers and a 3.0 demo rating. It out paced the DUCK DYNASTY episode, in the demo ratings and was just 600,000 viewers behind the hit reality series. More networks should think about this approach for those series that have huge, diehard followings.
OWN's THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS had a great week. The series posted 3.4 million viewers and finished in the 14 position. It was the highest ratings for the series and was the second highest rated program ever on OWN.
