ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” was beaten only by NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” in the 18-49 demo for Week 2 of the TV season, but otherwise no other cable/satellite network program made the top 75 and only four more the top 100. The weekly number crunch of Nielsen data for both broadcast and cable/satellite networks comes from the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB).
