Cable Stations Can't Survive Survivor


The CBS/Survivor win came at the expense of basic cable stations. Primetime ratings for USA Network plummeted to their lowest point of the year, while Superstation TBS posted its lowest figures in six months.

The top cable channel last week was Turner Broadcasting's Cartoon Network, the first time in its history that it has held the top spot.
