Cable TV Ratings for Week of June 30 – July 6
'Payne' takes the top four for the week; USA is most watched cable
network (July
10, 2008) Summer may be changing the viewing for some, but black cable
watchers are holding steadfast to their favorite programs. TBS' "House
of Payne" remains the dominant favorite, capturing the first four spots
on the top 25 chart. VH1's new series, "I Love Money" took fifth place.
The week's most watched network was USA, which placed six winners on the
chart. Disney was second with five shows, followed by a tie between BET
and TBS with four each.
The total number of viewers for the top 25 shows, according to Nielsen
data, was 22.6 million. That's a 19% drop from last week's total of 28.3
million, but that was boosted by the five million-plus that watched the
BET Awards.
