Football was big for both broadcast and cable networks in Week 7 of the TV season. According to the merger of Nielsen broadcast and cable/satellite data by TVB, football programming claimed four of the top seven spots in the coveted 18-49 demo.


That #7 position went to ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” as the only cable program to make the top 50. #1 on the weekly list was NBC’s “Sunday Night Football,” with a college football game on CBS claiming the #2 spot.

A total of eight other cable programs made the top 110, so broadcast networks claimed 91 of the slots.

Worth noting: The premiere of “Rock Center with Brian Williams” barely made the top 100 for NBC, coming in at #100.
