  • Overnight Nielsen Ratings: ABC's Heat-Mavericks Leads Weekend Sports Telecasts

    ABC led all weekend sports telecasts with an 11.1 overnight Nielsen rating for last night’s Heat-Mavericks NBA Finals Game Three. NBC's broadcast of Rafael Nadal’s win over Roger Federer earned the best French Open men’s final overnight since ’99. The net also aired the Rugby Sevens Collegiate Championship this weekend. The 0.6 overnight for the event coverage was up slightly on Saturday and flat on Sunday (THE DAILY).
