I think it's much lower than 57,000.

114.2 million households.

.05 Nielson Rating = 0.05% = 0.0005... wait!?

114.2 x 0.0005 = 57,100.

What am I doing wrong (because it's likely I am wrong.)

EDIT: Meant 114.2 million households rather than viewers. Fixed that.

I've seen a wide range of viewers for the same rating point, so they are clearly only measuring by the number of TVs that are on at any given time.

Z believes schools are better off not being on TV than going on a network other than ESPN.

At that number, it's the same thing. Heck, ESPN3 gets more hits.

It's a great deal for the schools, though. They get paid 100x what they're delivering/have delivered. Bully for them.

1,000 people tuned in to watch some of those games.

That's the highest FS1 # yet, by 2x. Previous highs were mid 150s. But even still with Kentucky it should be higher than that. Compare to Indiana-UConn that same weekend at over a million.

I don't think that would make up 700k but it probably played a role.

Lots of factors:
PC isn't a national brand
PC isn't ranked
Second half was a blowout (relatively)
It was on FS1

I wonder how many of those 300k+ were UK fans and how many were neutral observers.

How many OOC games would the NBE need to add up to the viewership of just the IU/UConn game?

 

[upstater]

Yes, good point. That will depress it no doubt.
