Primetime Cable Ratings: August 6, 2014

It may be a wounded duck, but DUCK DYNASTY is still the top cable program on Wednesday nights. The veteran reality series was #1 in both total viewers (3.4 million) and in the A18-49 ratings (1.2). That is nearly the same numbers the series pulled in last week. But, it's ability to help grow a lead out series is not so good. BIG SMO drops more than half of the audience, come at the bottom of the 10 p.m. hour.

 AMERICAN PICKERS gave DUCK DYNASTY a run for it's money, but fell just short. It was the only other program of the night, to draw more than three million viewers.

SUITS was the night's top original scripted series, on cable TV, grabbing 2.6 million viewers. That is down 200k, in viewers, from last week's numbers.
