Has Cable TV Finally Saturated the Market?

For more than three decades, cable TV programmers enjoyed steady ratings gainsâ??mostly at the expense of broadcasters. Inspired efforts like AMCâ??s Mad Men and FXâ??s Sons of Anarchy notwithstanding, those steady ratings increases sometimes belied the quality of programming they ran on their channels (sorry, Snooki). But with the cable business finally reaching saturation when it comes to adding new subscribers, and viewers blessed with more on-demand choices than ever, many top cable channels have recently experienced their worst ratings declines ever.
