Top Cable Programs (18-49) – Week of 9/6/10
By | September 17, 2010
MTV’s “Jersey Shore” ceded the top spot in cable delivery among 18-49s during the week of Sept 6-12, bowing to the net’s annual “VMAs” (7.41mln) soiree as well as ESPN’s record-setting coverage of the VA Tech-Boise State game (5.14mln) while earning 4.39mln in the demo. The VMAs pre-show (4.08mln) took 4th, ahead of HBO’s “True Blood” (4.00mln) and yet another hot ep of “Jersey” (3.83mln). The Penn State-Alabama tilt on ESPN (3.47mln) ran and passed to 7th, and MTV’s “The World of Jenks” (3.27mln) followed in 8th. History’s “Pawn Stars” (3.17mln) and ESPN’s Miami-Ohio State game (3.09mln) completed the top 10. (Data provided by Nielsen)
