CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  ESPN simulcast the other Saturday NFL WILD CARD game with ABC, and the ESPN piece of it was at 2.11.  ESPN dominated the day in cable, with 7 of the Top 10 slots, including a COLLEGE BASKETBALL game in primetime at 0.43.   (Because HBO lists its movie premieres as “originals,” MAD MAX: FURY ROAD hit the Top 10 as well).  On Adult Swim, DRAGON BALL Z was up 0.04 to 0.61/1.28M, AKAME GA KILL was steady at 0.48, PARASYTE slipped 0.02 to 0.43, SAMURAI CHAMPLOO shed 0.03 to 0.38/769K, NARUTO held at 0.33/687K, ONE PIECE fell 0.03 to 0.30/664K, and KILL LA KILL gained 0.05 to 0.31/679K.  Spike’s COPS was at 0.35.  On Food Network, KITCHEN AT FN was up 0.04 to 0.35, and PIONEER WOMAN ticked down to 0.34, with TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN up 0.05 to 0.32.  Discovery’s MYTHBUSTERS was at 0.34.  Esquire’s SPOTLESS crept up 0.01 to 0.03/92K.
