by Wayne Friedman

Cable delivers the most top TV programs when it comes to the percentage of its audience that time-shifts viewings.

Led by Sci-Fi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica," cable had eight of the top 13 time-shifted shows. "Battlestar" has a whopping 53% of its household viewing--more than half of its overall viewing--watching after its original episode premiere. This data comes from Nielsen Media Research, Jan. 1 to Nov. 30, 2008, and includes time-shifted playback of up to seven days.

Sci Fi Channel had three shows in total that made the top 10. The other two were series, "Sanctuary" and "Eureka," which earned 35% and 34% of their respective audiences via DVR playback ...
