For summer TV, cable was the place to be
Steve Safran September 4th, 2006
The big summer viewing audience once again was on the cable nets and not the traditional broadcast nets. Ad-supported cable scored 61% of the primetime viewing audience over the summer, as broadcasters continue to give away three months of effort every year. The half-hearted attempts at original programming from the nets - the reailty shows - did OK. But cable originals took the honors. I’ve never understood the summer rerun mentality. In what other business would you write off 25% of your year?

I’m curious: Do they have the summer rerun mentality in other countries, or is it purely an American phenomenon?

I discovered “Mythbusters” on the Discovery Channel this summer. That show rocks!
