NBA Playoffs Top Charts

Cable TV Ratings for Week of April 28 - May 4
NBA Playoffs slam dunk top 25 cable list,
making TNT most-watched network

(May 7, 2008) Are you ready for some b-ball? The NBA playoffs are dominating the cable viewing of black households, taking the top three spots on the week’s top 25 cable shows. While none of the games attracted two million viewers like "House of Payne" typically does, their two-hour length keeps them locked on the station longer. ESPN was also able to make the chart by carrying a match-up.

Congratulations A&M

Alabama A&M 13, Alabama St. 9

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Ulysses Banks ran 25 times for 132 yards and Alabama A&M’s only touchdown as the Bulldogs defeated Alabama State 13-9 Saturday in the Magic City Classic.

Banks won the battle of two of the Southwestern Athletic Conference’s top rushers as the Hornets’ Jay Peck had 53 yards on 11 carries and also scored a touchdown.

The game wasn’t decided until Al Donaldson intercepted a pass from Alabama State’s Chris Mitchell with 1:41 to play after the Hornets had driven 55 yards in 8 plays to the Alabama A&M 29-yard-line.
