USA Network’s coverage of the Paris Summer Olympics last week couldn’t propel the network over Fox News Channel, which finished in first place on the primetime chart for the ninth straight week.
Fox News averaged 2.2 million viewers for the week of July 29-August 4 to top all cable networks, according to Nielsen numbers supplied by Fox News. USA Network finished second for the week with 1.2 million viewers, bolstered by its coverage of the Olympics' opening week.
