AAC Championship TV Rating

[Guapo]

Not sure if this deserves its own thread, but I thought it deserved to be mentioned here and I didn't know what thread to put it in:

The AAC championship game scored a 2.3 rating, equaling the rating for the PAC 12 championship game.

In my humble opinion, this is the type of info Arseco should be shouting from mountain tops

Per one of your links, the AAC Championship game had 3.4MM viewers vs the MWC Championship game between Boise St and Fresno with 623k viewers. That's a rather brightline difference in public interest.

"Rounding out the group of five action, the Boise State-Fresno State Mountain West Championship had a 0.39 (-11%) and 623,000 (-13%) on ESPN in primetime."

The AAC title game was on network TV. The PAC 12 and MWC were on cable.

The MWC was against the ACC and Big Ten.

Yeah, I mean the MWC can't really hold a match to the AAC either in football or basketball

Hey man, I understand that but it's still impressive and, factually, true (and Arseco doesn't have to mention the cable vs network split when he proclaims this from said mountain top)

Well if you insist on all the facts being known, the AAC game was at noon and the MWC game was at 745EST.

Also the AAC title game was up against the Big 12 title game

Eyeballs are eyeballs. Who cares when, how or why they decided to watch?

Sure thing. That’s how TV works. They just look at one raw number with no context.

Enlighten me, Mr. Nielsen. If we're using your ratings as the OP refers to, how am I wrong? Or do you just like to piss on all posts?

You want me to explain the concept of context to you?

It’s a good number as was the USF number.

You can’t straight compare a Friday night cable number to a Saturday OTA number.

If you don’t get that not much of a point in talking ratings with you.

Your comment about eyeballs are eyeballs regardless of network, time and competition is about the most incorrect thing written here on the topic.

Oh Aresco is going to hoodwink top level execs who make 7 figure salaries negotiating 10 figure TV deals? Sounds like a plan. We’d better keep this quiet before they put this together.

Oy vey.

This was obviously tougne in cheek.

Even so, it's not the TV exes he needs to win over, it's the casual football fan.

He needs to sell the AAC as "big time" to them

Maybe so. But I honestly don't give a and you take this way too seriously. Are you honestly prepared to "talk ratings" with someone right now?

My man, I post here simply to pass the time between when I start drinking and stop drinking. Maybe I get lucky before bed, at the very least get to know myself better for a few minutes.

You on the other hand hover around here like Cliff Clavin's angry brother. You, OK?

 

[Guapo]

This is a very good number for the AAC.

Gee whiz, is anyone on here allowed to be happy about anything?

Nobody said it wasn’t a good number.

If there is one thing casual football fans love it’s television rating data.

For someone who doesn’t care you sure are upset for having it pointed out you posted something dumb.

The good news for those who combine ignorance with an arrogance about it you are home.

Ah, Friday night tedium.... off to a good start here.

It's a good number, and certainly worthy of ammunition for Aresco. I'm sure that he's perfectly aware of it and preparing to use it to our advantage.

We had an undefeated team trying to remain undefeated against a ranked opponent. The MW didn't have that scenario, and didn't get the numbers that came with it. Also, it was Orlando metro vs Memphis metro, which both provided a lot of eyeballs...

 

[noeynox]

Its something for Aresco to work with. We will see what it means. Hopefully there is some separation in pay from other G5 leagues who post inferior numbers.

This is what transpired:

Last week the AAC and PAC held their conference championship games.

The PAC 12, a power 5 conference, had its biggest brand, USC, playing with an outside shot of making the playoff.

Meanwhile, the AAC had UCF and Memphis matched up, no shot at the playoffs and neither approaching blue blood status.

Last week, roughly the same number of people chose to watch the AAC championship game as chose to watch the PAC championship.

That is inarguable and it is gosh darn impressive.
