Weekly Cable Sports Ratings: March 11 - 17, 2019

Conference championship basketball flooded and ruled the cable sports scene, this week, with 13 of the top 17 spots, including the first six. It was no surprise that Duke's three games were all in the top five.

The NBA was second fiddle, but did manage to push a game in the top ten and four more in the top 21.

AAF Football failed to push a game into the top 40, even though the nFL Network had three games. The best performing, Saturday night at 8 PM, collected354,00 viewers and a 0.12 demographic rating. A late Saturday night, west coast game, only held onto 156,000 viewers. Sunday nights match up scored 234,000 viewers.
