Sports Ratings Highlights for Week of July 1-7: Wimbledon Championship Edition

I’m probably going to have to find something to fill this space every week to avoid the two tables at the top colliding horribly, aren’t I? Um… the numbers for the Wimbledon men’s final conflate numbers that referred to the whole window with numbers that referred only to the match portion and so should be taken with a grain of salt?

Numbers compiled from a variety of sources, including TV by the Numbers, The Futon Critic, Sports Media Watch, and Son of the Bronx.
