'Caged' away and off to rocky start

MTV's fighting styles series "Caged" got away and off to a difficult come from its premiere Monday evening. Skein came only 619,000 total audiences within the 10 p.m. debut and also the other 541,000 for just about any repeat telecast an hour or so approximately later. Inside the cabler's specific 12-34 demo, "Caged" acquired a meager .64 rating for your initial telecast. MTV offered a sneak preview of "Caged" during the night time the other day carrying out a premiere in the year of "Jersey Shoreline" and came 1.2 million. Cabler is wanting there is a ratings uptick inside a couple of days, when the series does not need to face competition such as the BCS national football league and nfl and college football championship game that could remove male audiences. "Caged" follows several disparate Louisiana teen boys who may be getting hard time getting their lives together but find solace and self-affirmation inside the ring. Series is professional produced by Joke Fincioen, Biagio Messina, Dork Sirulnick and Amy Bailey. Contact Stuart Levine at stuart.levine@variety.com
