Saturday Night Live (0.6, -0.16) took a tumble on NBC, this time falling short of the top spot. UFC on CBS (0.76) was more than a tenth above the sketch-comedy staple, which gave 48 Hours (0.27, +0.15) a noticeable boost. But despite the solid performance from UFC, it was baseball on Fox (0.79) that posted the highest Adults 18-49 rating on Saturday. NBA on ABC (0.35) paled in comparison. The CW's NASCAR broadcast (0.15) posted a strong rating by the network's standards. Key: (R) = repeat.
