Sports delivered ratings for cable/satellite networks in Week 12 of the TV season, according to the weekly merging of Nielsen ratings for broadcast and cable/satellite networks by the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB). If you include pro wrestling as a sport, then sports accounted for the top four of the nine shows that cable/satellite networks placed in the top 100 for the 18-49 demo, with ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” predictably the highest ranked, at #3.
