Black Cable TV Ratings for Week of April 9 - 15
BET's
vends off challenge from VH1, TBS to remain No.1 cable network of the
week
(April
18, 2012) With only three shows on the Top 25 chart of best rated cable
shows with black audiences, BET still managed to barely fight off
competition for bragging rights. "The Game" still took the No.1 spot and
claimed about a half million more viewers than the NBA game airing the
same night on ESPN.
BET had 4.6 million viewers across three shows, which made it the most
watched cable network of the week in a close race. VH1 took second again
with 4.5 million for four shows. TBS was not far behind with 4.1
million.
The total number of viewers for the Top 25 cable shows of the week,
according to Nielsen, was 27.1 million. That's an increase of 11% from
last week, and nearly equal to the 27.9 million watching Top 25 TV
network shows for the same week.
