Top 100 Primetime Cable: September 7 - 13, 2015

The Labor Day college football game, featuring Ohio State and Virginia Tech, was this week's most watched cable program, hauling in 10.6 million viewers and a robust 3.8 rating in Adults 18-49. That tops Sunday's FEAR THE WALKING DEAD by 3.4 million viewers and two tenths of a point in the A18-49 demographic.

ESPN also benefited by a rain delay of the Men's US Open Tennis Championship, that pushed the match into a primetime event. Ranking 5th, the match drew 3.3 million viewers and a 0.9 demo rating, even against the first Sunday night Football game of the season.

There were a total of five sports programs in top 10, when you combine WWE RAW, Three of which aired on ESPN. Expect a lot more of this over the next four months.

For the top reality series, you have to drop down to the 22nd spot and fine LOVE & HIP HOP/HOLLYWOOD. The season premiere of the west coast edition only collected 2.4 million viewers and a 1.3 demo rating, weaker than the ATLANTA edition of the franchise.
