The highest rated show in the history of cable put ESPN high up in the weekly mash-up of Nielsen data for both broadcast and cable/satellite networks by the Television Bureau of Advertising. “Monday Night Football” was the #2 show in the 18-49 demo, trailing only “NBC Sunday Night Football.”

But the next-best showing by cable was #69, FX’s “Sons of Anarchy,” with only two more shows making the top 100.
