Primetime Cable Ratings: October 30, 2016

THE WALKING DEAD lost 4.5 million viewers and 27% in the A18-49 demo, from last week's intense season premiere, but is still dominate enough to dwarf its competition. The drop is not unexpected, between normal drop-off levels for a second episode, a strong SNF game on NBC and and the World Series on FOX, 12.5 million viewers and  6.2 demo rating is pretty good.

FOX News placed three programs in the top six, as the latest news twist to the Presidential election feeds into new-hungry viewers. FOX News averaged 2.4 million viewers, between 7 and 10 PM.
