Another week, and another duo of Monday Night Football and Saturday College Football kept ESPN on top of the prime time cable ratings for the week of October 19-25, 2009.
With the NLCS over, this is almost certainly we’ll see TBS at #2 for adults 18-49, at least they got a 5 game series. USA moved ahead of TBS into the #2 spot for average viewership for the week.
Nickelodeon, remains atop the total day average viewership like a Spongebob-ian colossus.
