There is a lot more information in the daily cable ratings.
We always post whatever specific show data we received directly and see via press release or other trade publications. You can subscribe to our RSS feed and we have created a special category (Overnight Cable TV Show Ratings), which we usually post late in the afternoon on the east coast (and Friday night data isn't posted until Monday).

Left out Austin & Ally – 3.049 million.
So. Much. Fudging. NBA.
And as for Victorious, eh, I guess it’ll make do for the time being. Let’s hope Nick can pick up their game soon before Rags premieres on Memorial Day.
Also, A&A did better than Good Luck Charlie? That’s so not cool. >_>
Yay @ Victorious. I was Hoping for 4 million, but that’s good enough considering all of nick’s live action shows are decreasing dramatically.
I just saw Good Luck Charlie’s numbers! Ouch!! Disney shouldn’t have put it at the 7:30 Slot. If they would only just move Shake It Up to fridays, and Austin and Ally to 8:30, OR they can switch the shows every other week for the 8:00 slot.
Nick thinks Korra has a strong fan base, so they don’t promote it alot. They shouldn’t do that! I hope the viewers increase next week.
Why isn’t there #’s for Saturday Night’s game (Game 4) between Lakers vs OKC?
Please disregard prior post. Oversight on my part.
Haven’t watched the NBA since Oklahoma stole the Seattle Supersonics in 2008 & rebranded them Thunder
GO NICKELODEON!!!!!!!!!!! BEAT OUT DISNEY BAD..
The only Disney show that ever worked at that 7:30 death slot was Hannah Montana and Wizards. Good Luck Charlie is Disneys best & funniest show right now. Keeping it at 7:30 would allow it to sink like So Random did.
Happy for Nick. Disneys numbers could be so much better if they were to change their scheduling because its hurting them very badly.
Hello! Seidman and/or Bill, Austin & Ally was left out of the top 25!
Austin & ally (DSNY) should be listed as # 25 with 3.049 million viewers. It is a part of Sunday’s Cable ratings. I hope the list is fixed
“Hello! Seidman and/or Bill, Austin & Ally was left out of the top 25!”
One of our sources of weekly cable data does not include Disney shows because they are not ad supported.
I have updated the table with the complete data.
Bill, thank you!!
Also, i’m pretty sure Good Luck Charlie’s 7:30 time slot is only temporary-I remember that nickandmore on Twitter said that it will move back to 8 PM in June.
alguien me puede explicar que quiere decir edo de que victorious ascendio a 8.3 millones en total en la semana?
a mi igual k alguien nos explike jha jha
Good Luck Charlie’s 7:30 time slot is temporary, and JESSIE has been moved to 8:30 p.m. starting on 6/8
My Babysitter’s Vampire will now air Friday @ 8 starting 6/29 (most likely) alternating with ANT Farm’s new season, which probably has 8 as a new time instead of its usual 8:30
Here is how I think the schedule should be for the summer on Disney Channel:
Friday
My Babysitters a Vampire/ ANT Farm @ 8
JESSIE @ 8:30
Phineas & Ferb @ 9
Gravity Falls @ 9:30
Fish Hooks @ 9:45
Sunday
Good Luck Charlie @ 8
Shake it Up @ 8:30
Austin & Ally @ 9
