NOTE TO READERS: Due to our upcoming Sundance Film Festival coverage, ratings posts for the rest of this week will likely be limited to charts without text. In addition, we may not be able to respond to individual ratings requests in the Comments. (But Sundance reviews!)
NETWORK UPDATE: There were no adjustments at all from Sunday’s preliminary numbers.
Ratings in key demos for the Top 25 original cable telecasts (plus a few other lower-rated but noteworthy programs):
ESPN’s coverage of the PRO BOWL led Sunday cable at 3.19. That was down from last year’s 3.78, however that game aired on NBC. Other special events: the SAG AWARDS on both TNT (0.60, down from 0.73 last year, when the awards aired on a Saturday) and TBS (0.54, down from 0.56), and the History miniseries SONS OF LIBERTY (0.97).
