TNT Slam Dunks USA

While it’s not exactly on a par with the Philadelphia 76ers interrupting the Boston Celtics’ dynastic eight-year NBA Championship streak in 1967, TNT last week finally put an end to USA Network’s year-long chain of ratings victories, averaging 2.79 million total viewers in prime time.

According to Nielsen Media Research data for the week ended May 4, TNT bumped USA out of the top spot for the first time in 17 weeks, thanks in large part to its NBA playoff coverage.
