USA Today didn't print anything, to my knowledge. No one else has anything more than the top 20 and that includes ESPN. So we'll just have to assume these were right.

Wait. I just had a thought. They might print the previous week's numbers this week, though that won't help us with sports or specials. Which have the most chance of being wrong.

Of course, it would help if USA Today prints this week's numbers.

I just posted last weeks ratings the L. A. Times printed the list.

Yeah, but if USA Today had done it they would have had a comparison to last week. I don't understand why it's so difficult to find the complete final numbers online.
