Top 100 Primetime Cable: April 28 - May 4, 2014

The NBA Playoffs first round is finally completed, but they did dominate the cable chart for the week. Ten of the top 20 programs are NBA Playoff games, with TNT airing the bulk of those games. The two primetime games, on Saturday night, were the most watched games, each drawing near 6 million viewers each. We will have few games in the next couple of weeks, and round two will go a lot quicker than round one.

GAME OF THRONES continues to break records. This past Sunday, the series surpassed the seven million viewer mark, for the very first time. It is by far, the most popular single program this spring, on cable TV.

The top reality series of the week is THE REAL HOUSE WIVES OF ATLANTA. It secured the #10 position, overall, collecting 4.3 million viewers.
