Sports scored big in the latest week’s ratings, not just the Olympics either. TNT claimed two slots in the top 50 for all of television with the NBA All-Star Game and a related show. The weekly number crunch by the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB) is based on data from The Nielsen Company for both broadcast and cable/satellite networks. In all, 11 cable shows were in the top 101 (due to a tie) for the key 18-49 demo for the past week.
