# September: Top Attention-Grabbing Shows for Broadcast and Cable

October 9

_Fall Premieres & Reality TV lead September Attention_

Hot cider, pumpkins, cold weather, and new shows – fall is here!

For many viewers, that means premieres of new and returning programs, which dominated the broadcast list. But while premieres dominated broadcast, softer reality content captured cable attention.

## Highlights:

- **Premiere season is in full swing!** Four of the top five broadcast shows were part of the fall premiere schedule. Most were for returning programs -- stay tuned for our premiere recap report in a few weeks.
- **Reality leads the pack:** MTV's Jersey Shore Family Reunion has a highly attentive audience to match the ratings buzz. The program was #2 on the cable list, just behind Keeping up with the Kardashians.
