Top Broadcast and Cable TV Sports Originals for Monday, October 16, 2023

Cowboys/Chargers Monday Night Football averaged 19.6 million viewers across ABC and ESPN.

A big October Monday of sports saw the Cowboys/Chargers game average 19.592 million viewers across ABC & ESPN, There was no ManningCast last night and the telecast start times on ESPN Deportes and ESPN2 weren’t the same as ABC & ESPN so I didn’t include them in the total, but it’s legal to round up to 20 million viewers even without them.

The late afternoon Rangers/Astros Game 2 averaged 4.368 million viewers across FOX & FS1. Unlike the ABC entry for Cowboys/Chargers, which doesn’t include ESPN, FOX’s ALCS game entry below does include FS1, so don’t add it to those totals manually…

Diamondbacks/Phillies NLCS game 1 on TBS averaged 3.726 million viewers. The alt-cast on truTV averaged 52,000 viewers.
