>> Sunday 5/19 D.C.-St. Louis (ABC): 1.1 million << WOO HOO!
The Sunday game head-to-head vs NBA game 7 Cleveland v NY really hurt, same things happened last year in head to head. Week 8 was 2 weeks later in 2023 - don't have the ratings yet for the NBA game
[edit: Cleve v NY got 6.45million viewers]
The Preakness Stakes likely did more damage Saturday than hoped - and I didn't win the race either

And the WNBA late game 3pm on ABC got 1.34mm following Clark 1pm game got 1.71mm That was over by 5pm.- A disgrace to FOX!! I'll be bent over the toilet heaving for a while.

ESPN2 - got hit hard by ABC's Thunder-Mavericks Game 6 with 5.6mm. ESPN also had the Edm-Van NHL playoff game.
But No Comp with DC big city vs STL on ABC... 1.1mm
AND This should be the last NBA head-to-head with UFL
2023:
USFL week 8 prior year wasn't directly against NBA playoffs I believe as it was 6/3 weekend and did fairly well
and
XFL week 8 was prior to USFL opener and Easter weekend, and had a solid w/e too
