USA #1 In Primetime Cable For 11th Week
Three hours of WWE Raw in the top 20 was more than enough for USA Network to again claim the top spot in the primetime cable network average viewer ranking for the 11th straight week.
Placing a dominant 16 shows in the Total Day top 20, Nickelodeon once again took the #1 spot for Total Day cable viewers. Although down from last weeks total, the Square-panted one still helped his parent network with 8 top 20 placements.
