TV Ratings

[Mr. Nielsen]

For the season, six of the ten-highest rated games were Big Ten conference matchups, and seven of the top-ten involved a Big Ten team. Of the 678* games on CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and NBC Sports Network this season (Nov. 9 to Mar. 10), only six had a rating of 2.0 or higher.

A whopping 606 of the 678 games had less than a 1.0 rating. That includes 376 games that had between a 0.1 and 0.4, and an incredible 127 games that had a 0.0. Of note, every single game that had a 0.0 rating aired on ESPNU or NBC Sports Network.

Overall, college basketball games averaged 508,000 viewers on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU during the regular season. ESPN averaged 1.4 million for 135 games, up slightly from last year, and the network's most-viewed college basketball season ever. Regular season averages were not available for CBS or NBC Sports Network.

How much are those numbers influenced by how much ESPN hypes the game. The Kentucky/Georgia game was viewed by 1.3 M. Pretty impressive for two non-ranked teams, but recall ESPN headlining that game quite a bit. MU/St. Johns was seem by 800k + with no where near the hype of the Kentucky/Georgia game.

Huge state schools that crank out thousands of alums every year. Yippee.
