Top 100 Primetime Cable: December 5 - 11, 2016

THE WALKING DEAD wins the week in the cable ratings, drawing 10.6 million viewers and a 5.1 rating in Adult for the 90-minute finale. TALKING DEAD (#4), which followed, drew 4.3 million viewers and a 2.0 demo rating. Both will return with new episodes in February, 2017.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL was the top sports draw, with 8.1 million viewers, but the early blow out by the Colts over the Jets, results in the lowest ratings for the season for ESPN. THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL (#7) was the #2 spots event, with 3.8 million.

GOLD RUSH (#11) leads the reality genre, with 3.6 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in Adults 18-49. CURSE OF OAK ISLAND (#16) was not far behind with 3.0 million viewers.
