Led by the hugely-successful “Jersey Shore,” MTV grabbed the number one spot in the weekly ratings for its August 12 episode.

MTV pulled in an estimated 819,000 viewers with a 4.1 rating, according to the Nielsen Company.

Five other Yankee telecasts cracked the Top 30, all of which were on the YES Network.
