ESPN's Monday Night Football Wins the Night in Key Male and Adult Demos

As it has each week this season, MNF led all the night's programs (broadcast or cable) in all key male demos and people 18-34, and it is the second most-viewed program on cable television in 2009, surpassed only by the MNF telecast of October 5 (Green Bay at Minnesota).
