Cartoon Network has announced that its ratings for October continued to grow over last year's (see 'Adult Swim Ratings Soar' for last month's stats), based on statistics from the week ending October 17th.  As was the case in September, the programming block was #1 in its time slot for 18-34-year-olds watching basic cable.  Ratings and delivery for 18-34 and 18-24 year-olds were up 40-50%, and 10 of the top 50 18-34 shows on basic cable were Adult Swim programs.
