Weekly Cable Sports Ratings: February 18 - 24, 2019

Basketball, once again, dominates the cable sports landscape, taking nine of the first ten spots, between the college and pro games. ESPN set a regular season weeknight game record with its NC vs Duke game, drawing 4.3 million viewers.

The Golf Channel did well with this weekend's PGA tournament, grabbing 1.2 million viewers on Sunday afternoon (#10) and just under one million, on Saturday afternoon (#15).

Week three of the Alliance of American Football and both NFL Network games make the chart. Sunday's San Antonio vs San Diego match up drew over 500,000 viewers, while Saturday night's match up of Memphis vs Orlando attracted just under 500,000 viewers. That is up about 20%, from last week's matchups.
