Hitwise has begun issuing a combined broadcast and cable data table, and this week rather than breaking broadcast and cable up into separate posts, I'm just going to put all the tables in one post -- they're pretty easy to read and it's still easy to scroll through.

I LOVE SPONGEBOB
Interesting to see most popular websites. Does any service measure the number of people who view entire shows via the internet — whether it be via the network site or somewhere else, like hulu.com?
janezy, Nielsen does measure online viewing, although not on Hulu.com because Hulu doesn’t participate. We include those numbers on our site when they are available to us.
