Top 100 Primetime Cable: February 16 - 22, 2015

THE WALKING DEAD continues to dominate the weekly cable chart, commanding over 13.4 million viewers and an impressive 6.9 rating in the A18-49 ratings. The first three weeks have been a bit of a challenge for the hot drama as it has had to face THE GRAMMY AWARDS, on CBS, the SNL 40th Anniversary special, on NBC, and The Oscars, on ABC. Through it all, TWD has averaged 13.8 million viewers and a 7.0 demo rating.

ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE rises to become the top reality series on cable, passing GOLD RUSH for the weekly title. It is the first time the series has not only topped GOLD RUSH, but to be the top series of the genre.

The DUKE vs North Carolina men's basketball game hauled in the most viewers of the season, by ANY televised game, with 4.1 million viewers and a 1.7 demo rating. That tops the three hour average of WWE RAW, on USA.

Notable premieres this week, RIZZOLI & ISLES kicked of the winter portion of its season, collecting 3.6 million viewers. 19 KIDS & COUNTING brought in 3.4 million. The History scripted drama VIKINGS placed 21st, with 2.8 million.
