Week 1 CFB TV ratings...."Outside of ABC, quiet opening weekend of college football"

[ttowncoug]

I read our game vs. Portland State wasn't on in the SE (Florida). Overall, the numbers seem respectable in comparison to the comps. I think as the season goes, the "late window games" (namely if we are ranked) will get good TV draws.

Outside of ABC, quiet opening weekend of college football

Outside of SEC-fueled ABC, week one of the college football season was a relatively quiet affair in the ratings.

"In the debut of “Pac-2” football on CW, Idaho State-Oregon State averaged 381,000, preceded by Portland State-Washington State at 223,000."

In terms of other "comps"....
"Over on FS1, North Dakota-Iowa State drew 315,000, Wyoming-Arizona State 253,000, UNLV-Houston 172,000 and UConn-Maryland 133,000."

"Over on BTN, regional action topped the Saturday slate with 594,000 viewers, followed by 425,000 for Idaho-Oregon and 306,000 for Weber State-Washington. FS1 drew 253,000 for Wyoming-Arizona State."

huh...

I was there on Monday and the site looked all but dead.

Can't say that those view numbers back up any of the claims of WSU being a top 3 viewership team in the former P12 . Can't even beat out OSU.

I'm guessing that old, white farmers don't know how to find the CW?

Again, you'd think that WSU would blast their potential viewer base with "find WSU football on CW network, channel xx in your region" information.
