Primetime Cable Ratings: October 28, 2015

The third GOP Presidential Debate was the most watched program on TV last night, topping game two of the World Series. The CNBC presentation drew 14.0 million viewers and a 2.6 rating in the A18-49 demographic. It is the least watched of the the debates, but it did have the World Series to contend with.

For the second night in a row, there was an NBA doubleheader, but Wednesday night was for ESPN. The ratings were not as good as the TNT's on Tuesday night, as ESPN averaged 2.1 million viewers between the two games, down 900,000 from Tuesday night's two games.
