Top 100 Primetime Cable: March 17 - 23, 2014
Running a little behind on the ratings posts. That pesky "day job" gets in the way, from time to time.Cable coverage of the NCAA Tournament did well last week. Games and studio shows placed seven times, in the top 20. TBS had the best single game numbers, grabbing 4 million viewers on Saturday night. TruTV even had a good week as the FIRST FOUR games drew their best ratings ever.
VIKINGS dropped a few spots, with the games posing as good competition, but it still is drawing well over three million viewers a week and was just renewed for a third season. if you are a fan like me, this is great news.
THE WALKING DEAD pushed upward with it's ratings. The anticipation of the season finale brought more viewers in since week two of this mid-season run. It would not surprise me to see THE WALKING DEAD record record ratings for this season finale, on March 30th.
