Coverage of 'MLB Baseball' and the 'NHL Playoffs' were the only two originals airing on the broadcast nets Saturday. FOX's Red Sox/Yankees baseball game (418,000 adults 18-49, 0.3/3) just narrowly edged out NBC's Golden Knights/Blackhawks hockey game (400,000, 0.3/2) in the demo, but took a wider lead in total viewers (1.802 million vs. 1.254 million) with help from the adults over 50 crowd (6 share vs. 2 share). The programs tied in men 18-34 (0.3), men 18-49 (0.4), and women 25-54 (0.3/2), but baseball s up a tenth out in men 25-54 (0.6/4) and hockey was up a tenth in both women 18-34 (0.2/2) and women 18-49 (0.3/2). Median age for baseball was 61.7, and was 55.4 for hockey.

Top programs on the spanish-language nets:
-Univision: 'Liga MX Saturday: Cruz Azul/FC Juarez' (275,000 18-49, 600,000 total)

On the cable side, it was another slow night. ESPN's 'UFC Fight Night Prelims' led the way among adults 18-49 (0.29 rating), men 18-49 (0.42), and males 12-34 (0.24). Adult Swim's 'Batman: Dark Night Return' edged out a victory in adults 18-34 (0.21) narrowly beating out 'UFC' and Adult Swim's other entry 'Batman: Year One' (both 0.20). In the males 12-34 demo, 'Return' managed 0.21 and 'Year One' was at 0.18.

Two 'NHL Playoff' games on NBCSN also did well among M18-49 with Tampa Bay/Columbus at 0.25 and Colorado/Arizona at 0.24.

A Hallmark original movie, 'Wedding Every Weekend' took the top spot in the W18-49 demo (0.26 rating) and tied 'Batman: Year One' for the lead in females 12-34 (0.17). Its 2.2 million viewers ranked it fourth on the day behind only Fox News's primetime line-up (led by Judge Jeannie with 2.6 million).
