Week 15: Broadcast 92, cable 8

08 January, 2008 05:10:00

Font size:

With the season over for NFL games on cable networks, cable claimed only eight of the top 100 in ratings for the key 18-49 demo. The weekly number crunch by the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB) from Nielsen Media Research data put the top cable show at #79. That was still football, but a college bowl game on ESPN. The top show overall was, of course, the NFL playoff game on NBC.
