CBS ratings unaffected in Time Warner dispute

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 10 (UPI) -- Time Warner Cable, CBS' ratings remained relatively unaffected last week, Nielsen ratings show.

CBS has seen a 0.2 percent drop in total viewers during the first seven days of blackouts in Dallas, Los Angeles and New York, The Hollywood Reporter said.

For adults between 18-49, the network has seen no change from the previous week.

The blackout has had no effect on CBS' cable affiliates, Showtime, TMC, Flix and Smithsonian, The Hollywood Reporter said. Showtime's "Dexter" and "Ray Donovan" saw no changes between the two weeks.

Compared to last summer, CBS has seen a 38 percent boost in total viewers, but that was because the network lost ratings to NBC's coverage of the Olympic Games in London.
