College football took up 6 of the top 7 slots on Saturday cable, with more farther down the list, ranging from 0.12 for a late ESPN2 game to 1.80 for the mother network’s primetime coverage.

DOCTOR WHO (BBCAmerica) dropped 0.08 to 0.30. THE TRANSPORTER (TNT) remained essentially steady, at 0.26/0.21 compared to last week’s 0.23/0.23. SURVIVOR’S REMORSE (Starz) was also steady at its low 0.08, and THE CHAIR, for what it’s worth, also held even at 0.02/34K total viewers. In response to viewer queries: THE KITCHEN (Food) was at 0.25/1.34M at 11AM, and NBC Sports Network’s MLS coverage was at 0.08/205K. Those who’ve been following the INFOMERCIAL ratings on Adult Swim will be excited to know that its new masterpiece, OFF THE AIR, was the 9th highest-rated original show on Saturday cable, at 0.41 with 815K total viewers. Brilliant programming!
