Cable/satellite networks just missed landing a show in the top 50 for the key 18-49 demo last week, according to the number crunch of broadcast and cable/satellite Nielsen data by the Television Bureau of Advertising.


"Burn Notice" grabbed the #51 position and "WWE Entertainment" #52. Both air on the USA Network.

Three other cable/satellite offerings made the top 100.
