Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart
CABLE HIGHLIGHTS: ESPN was firmly in control of Wednesday cable with 3 COLLEGE FOOTBALL bowl games in the Top 4 slots: West Virginia vs. Miami at 1.20, Texas A&M vs. Kansas State at 1.11, and Pittsburgh vs. Northwestern at 0.59. History broke up the set with a pivotal episode of VIKINGS, down 0.01 to 0.62, and given its events, it will be interesting to see if there’s any effect on ratings for the rest of the season.
