Top 100 Primetime Cable: May 12 - 18, 2014

GAME OF THRONES may be the #1 program on cable, setting personal best records in viewership, but it is the NBA Playoffs that dominated the cable charts.

The NBA second round games took seven of the top 10 spots, averaging over 5.1 million viewers per game. Five of those seven games generated a demo ratings of at least a 2.0, or better. Now that the playoffs are now in the conference finals, expect the TNT and ESPN ratings to rise higher and continue to dominate the cable scene.

FOX Sports 1 did well with it's NASCAR Race on Saturday night. The race brought in 3.5 million viewers to network. The young sports network is trying to find an audience and a taste of NASCAR could help FS1 gain traction.

PAWN STARS edge LOVE AND HIP HOP for the title of top reality series of the week. PAWN STARS placed 14th, with 3.4 million viewers, about 180k more than L&HH.
