Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart  

 

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  ESPN’s MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL was at 3.54, up 0.09 from last week’s game.  USA’s WWE telecast was at 0.96/0.86/0.82, compared to last week’s 0.95/0.92/0.88.  On VH1, LOVE & HIP-HOP was steady at 0.89, and TI & TINY was down 0.05 to 0.59.  On MTV, TEEN MOM was at 0.51/0.29, compared to last week’s 0.48/0.34.  Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY lost 0.04 to 0.49.  Food Network’s HALLOWEEN BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP shed 0.05 to 0.44.  On Discovery, STREET OUTLAWS edged up 0.02 to 0.30.  Fox News’s THE INGRAHAM ANGLE led cable news at 0.28/0.49/2.9M, with MSNBC’s RACHEL MADDOW SHOW at 0.27/0.45/2.8M, while frankly there seems to be something wrong with CNN’s ratings, since the numbers we have put CUOMO PRIME TIME at the top of their line-up with 0.05/0.06/169K, which seems extremely low.  On HGTV, LOVE IT OR LIST IT ticked down to 0.27, HOUSE HUNTERS INTL ticked up to 0.20, and HOUSE HUNTERS was down 0.05 to 0.19.  History’s AMERICAN PICKERS was at 0.22/0.15, compared to last week’s 0.17.  On TLC, LONG ISLAND MEDIUM ticked up to 0.17, and LONG LOST FAMILY was down 0.03 to 0.14.  ID’s UNMASKED lost 0.03 to 0.15.  Syfy’s CHANNEL ZERO was at 0.04.  The delayed, edited, incomplete run of Paramount’s HEATHERS ended at 0.02/68K.
