CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  The gargantuan baseball rating probably affected some cable shows, starting with FX’s AMERICAN HORROR STORY, down 0.22 from last week to 1.19.  OWN’s QUEEN SUGAR, though, had a relative 0.06 surge to 0.54.  There were also audiences for other sports events, as Univision’s COPA soccer match was at 0.47, and ESPN’s NBA coverage had Oklahoma City vs. Clippers at 0.43 and Chicago vs. Boston at 0.34.  Lifetime’s season finale of LITTLE WOMEN: LA was down 0.03 to 0.44, and the premiere of LITTLE WOMEN: DALLAS was at 0.35.  The election continues to be the gift that keeps on giving to news networks, as Fox News had 5 shows in the Top 15, led by HANNITY at 0.34.  Food Network’s season finale of WORST COOKS IN AMERICA fell 0.12 to 0.29.  On HGTV, HOUSE HUNTERS slipped 0.02 to 0.28, HOUSE HUNTERS INTL ticked down to 0.26, and PROPERTY BROS was down 0.05 to 0.24.  E!’s TOTAL BELLAS lost 0.03 to 0.28, and CATCHING KELCE was down 0.03 to 0.12.  Bravo’s DON’T BE TARDY shrank by 0.02 to 0.25.  Spike’s LIP SYNC BATTLE fell 0.03 to 0.24, and THAT AWKWARD GAME SHOW was steady at 0.09.  MTV’s REAL WORLD fell 0.03 to 0.18.  On TV Land, YOUNGER ticked down to 0.16, and IMPASTOR was down 0.03 to 0.07.  TLC’s TODDLERS & TIARAS dropped 0.03 to 0.16, and LITTLE MISS ATLANTA fell 0.06 to 0.07.  WGNAmerica’s SALEM returned at 0.10, less than half the 0.22 2015 season premiere (which was on a Sunday).  IFC premiered STAN AGAINST EVIL at 0.06/0.07, a bit better than DOCUMENTARY NOW had been doing in that slot.  FXX’s YOU’RE THE WORST took a 0.04 tumble to 0.06.  Sundance’s RECTIFY dropped off the chart, down 0.02 to 0.04/102K
