The Chicago Cubs’ winning streak in the baseball World Series gave the FOX network a boost in week 6 of the US TV ratings, while The Great British Bake Off handed BBC1 the top UK TV spot for the week once again.
The last days of the MLB World Series were a huge bonus for the FOX network with seven entries in Mediaweek’s top 20 US TV chart compared to none in last week’s chart.
