CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  The midseason finale of AMC’s THE WALKING DEAD was of course mammoth, up 0.37 from last week to 7.02–but that was still down 0.56 from last year’s midseason finale.  INTO THE BADLANDS had a proportional amount of WALKING DEAD’s gain, up 0.21 to 2.46, but that show’s real test will come this week, when it airs without its giant lead-in.  TALKING DEAD, a bit surprisingly, was down 0.24 from last week to 1.27.  In the non-walker world, Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA gained 0.09 to 1.28.  BET’s coverage of the SOUL TRAIN AWARDS was at 1.15, with the POST-SHOW at 0.74 and the PRE-SHOW at 0.43.  On E!, KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS rose a tenth to 0.89, but THE ROYALS sank by 0.16 to 0.24.  Discovery’s ALASKA: THE LAST FRONTIER climbed 0.05 to 0.57.  Hallmark’s holiday  movie de jour ANGEL OF CHRISTMAS was at 0.54.  On TNT, THE LIBRARIANS was up 0.03 to 0.53, while AGENT X edged up 0.02 to 0.23.  Food Network’s HOLIDAY BAKING CHAMPION grew by 0.07 to 0.53, but GUY’S GROCERY GAMES fell 0.07 to 0.43, while CUTTHROAT KITCHEN was up 0.03 to 0.38.  History’s AX MEN rose 0.08 to 0.36.  Logo’s RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE held at 0.03/69K.

Things tightened up in the pay-cable competition, although Showtime was still on top with a steady 0.48 for HOMELAND and 0.27 (up 0.02) for THE AFFAIR.  HBO’s THE LEFTOVERS, a week away from its season finale, rose 0.08 to 0.40, while GETTING ON had a healthy 0.05 gain to 0.11.  Starz lagged with FLESH AND BONE, steady at 0.05.

The HALO AWARDS were another multi-network “roadblock” presentation, and for completists, in addition to the 0.29 (Nickelodeon) and 0.05 (TV Land) on the charts, it scored 0.04/212K (Nicktoons), 0.03/221K (TeenNick) and 0.03/66K (CMT).
