It wasn't quite a record, but Sunday's The Walking Dead drew 10.509 million viewers, and perhaps buoyed by Dish subscribers who were aware AMC was back in the channel lineup, was up 10% from the 9.547 million the previous week and less than 400,000 shy of the record-setting 10.872 million for the season 3 premiere on October 14. Update: The episode drew a 5.4 adults 18-49 rating, up 6% vs. last week's 5.1.
Note: we're experiencing some (perhaps Sandy-related) delays with our normal source for the daily cable ratings, which is why the Sunday cable ratings haven't been posted as of this writing.
Probably 5.5 demo. That will certainly beat last nights monday night football snoozefest. Congrats WD! What a hit this show is.
Homeland please?
Homeland = 2.073M at 10p
And with an episode that featured almost none of the regular cast…!
i know its cable but shouldnt these rating be with the big four networks now since its beat most shows on all tv
I actually liked yesterday’s episode. For once, we saw something new and fast paced on the show in a long time. Want to know more about the Governor.
I am a DISH subscriber who was not aware AMC was back when the second episode aired. I think many DISH subscribers like me also watched episodes 1 and 2 of the third season this last Sunday, so I expect ratings for those repeated episodes to be higher.
A18-49 rating is 5.43.
Yay, The Walking Dead! Great demo.
Doesn’t Dish represent about 10% of cable subscribers? It works out…
Thanks, Nick!
woah, Homeland broke 2m viewers? nice!
Wow 5.4 is amazing. Where is the renewel news?
@Nick
Can you please post your usual numbers here too?
awesome once again
Renewal was slightly given away by contest for walk-on role in season 4… not that a season hinges on walk-on contests… but still
oh my prediction for season 4.. rick and carl alone on the road
I hope not ribbit as Daryl is the most entertaining on the show!
Hope it gets 22 eps for season 4.
This will be three straight weeks that Walking Dead has topped every network show, excluding football,in the demo. I hope that one of the cliffhanger season enders passes the 6.0 mark.
