The Arizona game tv ratings

That is cool!

Pobs

9/5/18 9:58am

Wow that’s really surprising but awesome. Even more glad we won.

9/5/18 9:58am

Not bad for a 10:45 start.

kccougar

9/5/18 9:58am

Just think what an earlier start would have drawn.

Count Cougar

9/5/18 10:36am

Less. Because people would have been watching other games.

Very impressive considering our time slot.

9/5/18 9:59am

Late night games with less competition, and Primtime in the west coast. Lots of bars are tuning in.

9/5/18 10:21am

Does Nielsen measure viewership at bars?

Conan

9/5/18 12:31pm

Nielsen at least in part takes numbers using a pager like system and recording samples of what pop watches

SouthernBlueBlood

9/5/18 1:34pm

Does each bar only count as one?

Hill4Heisman

9/5/18 2:40pm

I learned from Anchorman that households with more than one tv only count as one

D.T. Survivor

9/5/18 4:34pm

I was thinking 800K. 1.3M shows that BYU can still attract eyeballs

Mark320

9/5/18 10:02am

They were watching a Heisman Trophy candidate too.

coolblue

9/5/18 11:23am

Absolutely right. It was a chance to see the next Johnny Manziel...

And a 25 year old QB!

Crazy in a 10:45 pm Eastern Time time slot. It was a fun game to watch, plus I

Crazy that it wasn’t fun until 12:30am eastern

I'm flummoxed that the intriguing matchup of UGA with the powerhouse Austin Peay

StarMan

9/5/18 10:08am

The game was so bad that the Austin Peay HC asked Kirby Smart and the Head Ref

9/5/18 2:12pm

Surprisingly low for the 2nd most watched game on the opening Saturday of CFB. I would have expected the 2nd

scall

It's only comparing the cable ratings

donnerstag

9/5/18 10:10am

Ah, that makes a ton more sense. Thanks for clarifying what I missed.

It was labor day weekend, I think alot of eyeballs were not near a tv.

Y-Zag

9/5/18 12:40pm

Preseason hype for Tate was definitely a huge factor, but still great

Duke Silver

9/5/18 10:09am

It doesn't show the ND-Mich game, but I'd imagine that commanded a bigger

Mark320

9/5/18 10:13am

That was a national broadcast on NBC, it wasn't cable. And yes almost 5 times the viewers.

3rd, that list didn't include Michigan/ND

gotch ya!

Avery

9/5/18 10:18am

Aside from ND, who was the number 1?

ditch

9/5/18 10:19am

I think Bama/Louisville. Weren't they the espn evening timeslot?

Grit for Brains

9/5/18 10:21am

No. ABC.

Ole Miss / Texas Tech

Everyone tuned in for Rod Gilmore.

cowbellcoug

A lot of people got to see a Heisman candidates' hopes get dashed

Y4LYFE

9/5/18 10:28am

Maybe that'll help finalize our ESPN deal

Mark320

9/5/18 10:39am

Best game available in the time slot.

GilbertAZCougar

9/5/18 10:39am

The downside:

But if that means bigger and better things for BYU and helps

9/5/18 10:52am

Nothing wrong with that.

9/5/18 10:55am

I'd gladly play in that slot for a few million more per year.

Cougarclaw

9/5/18 10:58am

That's our sales pitch. We should be happy to play to our strengths and apply any leverage we have

9/5/18 11:21am

Am I the only one that likes night games? It sure seems like it.

COACHdrn

9/5/18 11:32am

For the east coast it's awful. A 7pm (Eastern) start would be great though

ryebrye

9/5/18 12:06pm

I like them...but am no longer taking small children

Borg

9/5/18 12:08pm

I love them, but I’m in MTN time zone with small kids... I can see

Late night games are great for me.

TempeCoug

9/5/18 11:42am

Day games with kids are rough. Night games as a parent are so much better

9/5/18 11:46am

I’m okay with this. We shouldn’t expect Notre Dame style treatment.

I actually tried to watch your game against Weber, but wasn't able to thanks to

GenkiLawyer

Many of the viewers were Utes, although they wouldn't admitt it.

cowbellcoug

9/5/18 11:28am

Tony Parks always brings up that point

SL12

9/5/18 11:33am

We'll take it. Same phenomenon with Notre Dame

boscatar

9/5/18 11:44am

I think it’s awesome and one of the few reasons that independence can work

SL12

9/5/18 11:54am

BYU has twice as many fans so the makes sense

9/5/18 11:47am

That's why it's sometimes nice to be hated. It makes them look, which means $$$$

Mark320

9/5/18 12:00pm

This is part of why I won't watch yewt games - Don't want to boost ratings 😉

ordinatuer

9/5/18 12:47pm

For sure Utes were tuning in and won’t admit it, in the same way we look at

BlooCoog

I have friends who admit it. Same as me when Utah is playing. I’ll watch and

Well there were three fan bases watching our game. Most other fanbases don't

9/5/18 12:28pm

Does the USU fanbase count? Actually ASU fanbase was watching as well.

Lance71

9/5/18 12:29pm

Probably not many ASU fans as they were playing at the same time,

This is how I will support BYU Saturday night. Wait, does this include streaming

1/2 - our great fanbase 1/2 Week 1 gamblers needing to make up losses

CougarinOZ

Wonder how much of that was due to a Heisman Hopeful playing BYU...

icecougar

Noticed that you excluded the games that were on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX

OTA games nearly always dwarf the cable TV numbers

boscatar

His post very much says CABLE.

I know. Hence my reply.

FanofBYU

9/6/18 3:10pm

Your reply is unneeded and unwarranted. Those aren't cable channels.

Heavily MeDeekated

9/6/18 3:19pm

I think separating cable from OTA in ratings comparisons is the norm.
