Thanksgiving Week was a good one for cable/satellite networks. Major sports play-by-play telecasts put three cable/satellite programs in the top 50 for the 18-49 demo in the weekly number crunch by the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB) combining Nielsen numbers for cable and broadcast. Another nine cable/satellite shows made it to the top 100.
