ESPN’s telecast of the Pro Bowl was easily the No. 1 show on cable Sunday, but its ratings were down a little bit compared to last year’s game.
The game drew a 2.6 rating among adults 18-49 and 7.45 million viewers, off a little from 2.8 and 7.99 million for the 2016 Pro Bowl.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards got a bump vs. their 2016 ratings, owing in part to a switch from airing on a Saturday night last year to Sunday. Still, the combined 1.2 for the awards on TNT and TBS (each channel earned a 0.6) was up 71 percent over last year’s combined 0.7.
Elsewhere, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” improved a tenth of a point week to week to finish with a 1.1, second for the day.”Alaska: The Last Frontier” (0.6) also rose, but “Homeland” (0.4) was off a tenth from the previous week.
