Top Cable Shows (18-49) – Week of 6/7/10
By | June 11, 2010
HBO’s “True Blood” took a big bite out of cable’s viewership among 18-49s during the week of June 7-13. A series ep topped all other telecasts in the demo with 3.84mln and a 17min pre-show took 10th with 2.04mln. Also, the net’s “Break” (3.06mln) took silver, ahead of 2 eps of History’s “Pawn Stars” that averaged 2.78mln. Disney Channel’s feature of “Toy Story 2” (2.36mln) took 5th, followed by USA’s “Royal Pains” (2.33mln) and “Burn Notice” (2.31mln). An hour of USA’s WWE action took 8th (2.13mln)—and shockingly was the franchise’s lone entry on the list as the earlier hour failed to rate for the 1st time in memory. ESPN’s coverage of the Argentina-Nigeria World Cup match (2.13mln) completed the top 10. (Data provided by Nielsen)
