Only two shows from ad-supported subscription TV networks made it into the top 100 for the lucrative 18-49 demo in the most recent week, according to the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB), which combines Nielsen data from broadcast and cable/satellite. With “American Idol” from Fox, the NCAA basketball championship on CBS, “House” on Fox and “Dancing with the Stars” on ABC heading the list, the two cable entries were “WWE Entertainment” on USA at #47 and “Rescue Me” on FX at #97.
