Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart
NOTE: At this time, we don’t have Tuesday cable ratings lower than the Top 150 on the charts below.
CABLE HIGHLIGHTS: Not surprisingly, New Year’s Day belonged to ESPN, with its near-stranglehold on COLLEGE FOOTBALL bowl games. Their line-up was led by the ROSE BOWL at 4.16, with other games at 3.79/2.35 (the ROSE BOWL was simulcast on ESPN at 0.13), while ESPN2’s game was at 0.76. Except where noted, other ratings are compared to December 18, since most shows didn’t air new episodes on Christmas Day. History’s CURSE OF OAK ISLAND was the highest-rated non-football programming, down 0.05 to 0.68. USA’s WWE SMACKDOWN was up 0.07 from its Christmas airing to 0.68.
