Primetime Cable Ratings: May 16, 2014
With the NBA Playoffs having a rare day off, kids programming got a chance to shine. Between Nickelodeon and Disney, four of the top five shows were geared towards the U15 crowd. Disney's DOG WITH A BLOG was the most watched cable program of the night, grabbing 2.7 million viewers. JESSIE followed DOG WITH A BLOG, on Disney, keeping 90% of the lead in audience.
Over on Nickelodeon, a rare primetime block of SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS averaged 2.5 million viewers during the 8 p.m. hour. SPONGEBOB is always has large viewing audiences during the day time hours, sometime bigger than the primetime shows. SpongeBob is a classic cartoon character and is just as big, if not bigger, than the classics from the 60's 70's or 80's.
