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).

Yay Disney channel
Disney did great! 2 of the three entries are reruns, weird. There originals did very well though.
Also, does anyone have the ratings for the One Direction Concert Special, Saturday at 8 on NICK?
@Natahn, did you hear Nick is airing a Canadian game show- Splatalot- 4 days a week- at 7:30 after FIO?, Is Nick becoming a game show network?
^ Reply to your comment on Friday Cable Ratings; I think nickelodeon is trying to put that whole hour as a “game show hour”. But I don’t seem how that will work since they didn’t even promote that new game show.
Longmire is awesome, I love this show, so glad it got picked up for a second season.
i’m curious to know how the one direction concert special did
Shake it Up is the only premiere episode that made it on this list. Another reason why Disney should let it anchor their Fridays. ANT Farm was their only show in the 2′s. Thats a little embarassing.
As Chris Berman says, “Back back back back…GONE!!!”
Yeah, Shake It Up should be transported to Fridays, A.N.T Farm to 8:30, Jessie to Sunday
If Disney was smart, they would put a show on Sunday @ 9 pm.
@RHONJd- i agree
@ROHNJd, in the summer it would be good, but during the school days, that would be bad.
