With the start of the 2009-2010 television season, the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB) has resumed its weekly number crunch that combines broadcast and cable data from The Nielsen Company. Cable/Satellite networks actually put one show in the top five for the 18-49 demo in the first week of the season.


That, as you’ve no doubt guessed, was “Monday Night Football” on ESPN. The next best cable showing was USA’s “WWE Entertainment” at #65. In all, Cable/Satellite networks put six shows in the top 100.
