2022/23 TV Eyeballs

[UcMiami]

1/22 UMass-Dayton ESPNU Not Top 150
1/22 North Carolina State-Louisville ABC ?
1/22 UCF-South Florida ESPNU Not Top 150
1/22 Seton Hall-Marquette FS1 Not Top 150
1/22 Arkansas-South Carolina ESPN2 149,000
1/22 Texas-Baylor ESPN2 97,000
1/22 Wisconsin-Penn State BTN Not Top 150
1/23 Iowa-Ohio State ESPN2 368,000
1/23 Indiana-Michigan BTN Not Top 150

I am assuming that the non-sports fans who post these just forgot about the NC State-Louisville game and not that it averaged below the 200,000 viewers that is their usual cutoff for the broadcast list.

Really appreciate your attention and dedication to all of this - it is interesting to see these numbers including some surprises both positive and negative.

It is interesting to see the continued strength of the three standard broadcast networks. (I do wonder if some of that is continued issues with counting/integrating streaming issues across various platforms for the ESPN/FSI channels.)

I'm still curious about UCLA at SCar back in the fall. No figures were ever released.

Once more detailed ratings are announced, we should also get demographic data. ESPN PR reports 624,000 viewers on average for NC State-Louisville.

ESPN did not pay for it so nobody will ever know. I kind of assume that they pay for data on some markets in SEC states, but results from that sort of thing would not be widely available.

Yes, I figured that we were already discussing those numbers being missing.

It would be interesting to see if this thread dies if UConn had the most viewed game and it wasn't against SC.

Why would it die?

 

[hoopsfan22]

Why would it die?

yeah I was wondering the same thing

 

[90BSEE]

Why would it die?

Because you wouldn't have anything to "crow" about.

 

[awhom111]

Will do the full roundup later, but South Carolina-UConn averaged 1,087,000 viewers.

Is that enough to keep this thread alive?

 

[maple]

Because you wouldn't have anything to "crow" about.

UConn has consistently had super high TV ratings and typically is the (or one of the) viewership leaders. Not sure if you noticed. I, for one, enjoy seeing what games have people tuning in. It's interesting. There's a lot of layers to high viewership (lead-ins/lead-outs, the channels and times they are on, etc).

 

[Zinethar]

UConn vs South Carolina has become the #1 TV draw in women's basketball replacing UConn vs Tennessee (which still draws well). To be the best you need to play the best (take note LSU). I really enjoy this match up but of course I enjoy it a bit more when UConn wins . It is never a disappointment.

Well, I guess we don't get a chance to test your theory.

What are you talking about?

 

[HuskyNan]

Well, I guess we don't get a chance to test your theory.

Don’t feed the trolls.

[visitingcock]

Are South Carolina and UConn, together, bad for wbb now?

You guys don’t get the Northern Corridor sportswriters in South Carolina. The Boston-NY/NJ-Philly crowd can be pretty outspoken

[visitingcock]

I wonder if Iowa v. Indiana 325,000 is a wbb record viewership for the BigTen Network?

Maybe some tournament games in the past exceeded it?

 

[visitingcock]

Surprised by this.
