ESPN topped the primetime weekly cable ratings for adults 18-49 primarily on the strength of Monday Night Football, but USA powered by Monk, White Collar, WWE RAW and NCIS repeats was a close second. While for average viewership, USA took the title followed by ESPN.
Nickelodeon is back to it’s standard victory margin for total day average viewership.

What kind of ratings has GSN gotten recently? I don’t like most of their programming decisions, and think the impending Hasbro/Discovery network run by Bob Boden will absolutely kill them.
Where are BBC America’s ratings ?
It would be interesting to see how low they’ve gone since Garth Ancier turned it into a cesspool of reality shows.
Thankfully he masters across the pond have removed him.
They can only go up.
