CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  This was the final week for THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL to air on NFL Network alone (NBC begins its tenure next Thursday), and the cabler’s rating dropped 0.14 from last week’s game to 1.97.  The election may be done, but for obvious reasons Fox News fans are still captivated by the story, and that network had 4 shows in the night’s Top 10, led by HANNITY at 0.67 (although in the Total Viewers metric, THE O’REILLY FACTOR was on top with 5.3M viewers, thanks to its huge 50+ number).  The rest of the Top 10 went to TNT’s NBA doubleheader, with Lakers vs. Sacramento at 0.63 and Chicago vs. Miami at 0.62.  Lifetime’s PROJECT RUNWAY edged up 0.02 to 0.48, and FASHION STARTUP was also up 0.02 to 0.14.  Another sign of post-election fascination:  Comedy Central’s THE DAILY SHOW was at 0.44, up 0.09 from last Thursday’s show.  On Food Network, CHOPPED jumped 0.12 to 0.43 (presumably not for election-related reasons), and BEAT BOBBY FLAY was up 0.08 to 0.38.  ESPN’s COLLEGE FOOTBALL game was at 0.43.  A&E aired a 95-minute 60 DAYS IN reunion special at 0.38 (0.17 below last week’s season finale), and BEHIND BARS dropped 0.12 to 0.23.  HGTV’s HOUSE HUNTERS rose 0.05 to 0.36, and HOUSE HUNTERS INTL was also up 0.05 to 0.32.  Bravo’s MILLION DOLLAR LISTING ticked up to 0.30, and YOURS, MINE OR OURS was steady at 0.15.  We’s GROWING UP HIP-HOP lost a tick to 0.24, and MONEY POWER RESPECT fell 0.05 to 0.10.  FX’s BETTER THINGS had a strong season finale, up 0.09 to 0.24.  Tru’s THOSE WHO CAN’T episodes were at 0.14/0.09.  USA’s FALLING WATER gained 0.02 to 0.14.  MTV’s 2 episodes of TRUE LIFE were at 0.14/0.13.  POP’s IMPACT WRESTLING dropped 0.02 to 0.07/319K.  Logo’s FINDING PRINCE CHARMING fell 0.02 to 0.05/124K.
