The Sked: Cable Ratings November 1-7

>It’s been a good week for the sport of football (except if you happen to work at Penn State).  The Sunday Night Football game on NBC averaged an 8.8 rating with Adults 18-49, the Saturday night college football game on CBS (#1 vs #2 teams) scored a 7.2 rating, and the ESPN Monday Night Football game averaged a 6.9 rating.  Two NFC teams (Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles) and a close, back and forth contest put MNF back on track.

Walking Dead on AMC bounced back from a weak number last Sunday, and Gold Rush on Discovery Friday grew even stronger.  American Horror Story on FX Wednesday has leveled off at a very solid 1.6 rating.
