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).

Perception? You mean Major Crimes, right?
@Greg
The ratings for the Monday’s shows relate to last week, since yesterday’s cable ratings are not out yet. So the episode of The Closer is the last week’s one and there is Perception and not Major Crimes.
ALL I CAN SAY IS DISNEY CHANNEL IS ROCKIN
as usual babysitters ratings arent up there *sigh*
Is Dallas a “hit”? It’s season average this summer has been under 4 million viewers-lower than a half-dozen other primetime cable TV dramas airing the past 3 months.
Go Disney!
Top 5 programs Nick/Disney (New and Reruns)-
1. Gravity Falls
2. Shake It Up
3. GLC
4. Code 9
5. Gravity Falls (Rerun)
Disney ROCKS!
Im really happy for Disney. Gravity Falls is gonna be one hell of a hit for them. I just wish Disney would give ANT Farm more promotion.
I gotta hand it to Spongebob for keeping Nick on their toes. Their lucky to have a hit like Spongebob. Their team must be payed so high.
Nick would be in the dumpster if it weren’t for Spongebob.
Seriously, what would happen if Timewarner placed The closer on the CW on thursday night? Why wouldn’t they try to breathe some life into their broadcast network? Oh yeah that’s right they would have to share 50% of the ad revenue with CBS….still they have to do something about the CW right?
If The Closer was on the CW it would have never gotten these ratings. The CW is the death for a show.
@disney rocks
Disney would be in the dumpster without terrible wannabe teen sitcoms.
@Disney rocks
Your list is irrelevant, and a bother, just like you!
For all those thinking Shake It Up: Made In Japan is going to hit anywhere above 4.7 million viewers, it was up against the Fox NFL Preseason Game. *chuckles evilly*, and so was Gravity Falls.
@Twist Of Fate
How To Rock shall win this ratings battle!
