The Walking Dead proved that the staggering ratings for its season opener were not a fluke, again topping all non-sports competition on broadcast and cable last week with its second airing this past Sunday. Also this month, FX’s biker drama Sons Of Anarchy won the Tuesday 10 PM time slot in 18-49 twice in a row, beating its broadcast rivals, while the cable network’s horror series American Horror Story launched last week as close second in the Wednesday 10 PM slot among 18-49s to seal cable dramas’ ratings assent during one of broadcast networks’ strongest periods — the first weeks of the season — when cable networks until recently didn’t even dare to program originals. Also enjoying a successful run against the opening of the broadcast season has been Showtime’s Emmy-winning Homeland, which has broken Showtime ratings records.
