Top 100 Primetime Cable: December 18 - 24, 2017

Cable news continues to dominate the top of the weekly cable ratings, taking 18 of the top 30 spots. Tucker Carlson is the top news program, placing four nights in the top 10. Unfortunately, the cable news love excludes CNN as just one hour, Tuesday at 8 PM, makes the top 100, at #98.

Monday Night football leads all cable programs, grabbing more than twice the viewers as the #2 program, a Hallmark original movie. WWE RAW was the #2 sports program, averaging 2.8 million viewers.

CURSE of OAK ISLAND tops the unscripted original programming, ranking 5th overall, with 3.1 million viewers. GOLD RUSH was not far behind, at #9, drawing 2.9 million viewers.

Hallmark Christmas Movie, CHRISTMAS GETAWAY, was the top scripted offering, collecting 4.4 million viewers, on a Saturday night. MAJOR CRIMES (#25) was a distant second in the category, drawing 2.4 million viewers.
