WCBB Viewership

Apologies if posted elsewhere, after big losses I try to stay away for a few days for thought collection, and also to avoid some of the usual wacky negativism.

CBS saw 14% decline in viewers for NCAA men's basketball championship game, while ratings for women's title match on ESPN grew

The 2021 NCAA men's basketball championship averaged 16.9 million viewers, the lowest rating for CBS since it started broadcasting in 1982.

Men's ratings down, women's up. This despite the NCAA's best efforts to insult and suppress the women.

Can't they get anything right?

Yeah. I saw something about this earlier. And the naysayers say nobody watches women's basketball. Way to go, WCBB!!

Year-to-year comparisons are valid numbers to watch, but it also can't be swept under the rug that the men's championship game had 16.9 million viewers and the women's game only had 4 million. Still quite a gap in viewership.

Super Pac: Stanford-Arizona top women's title game since '14

Despite pitting teams from the lowest-profile Power 5 conference, the finale of the Women's NCAA Tournament delivered in the ratings for ESPN.

Sunday’s Stanford-Arizona Women’s NCAA Tournament National Championship averaged a 2.0 rating and 4.08 million viewers on ESPN, marking the largest audience for the game since 2014 (UConn-Notre Dame: 4.27M). The fast-national audience reported Monday (3.6M) did not include out-of-home viewing, which Nielsen began incorporating into its final nationals last August.

So out of home viewing added half a million viewers to the total? Correct? Seems like an unfair comparison to previous finals. Or maybe I'm not reading it right.
