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.

JohnnyComeLately

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.

RE: Late night games with less competition, and Primtime in the west coast.

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...

NOCAL_YFAN

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

9/5/18 10:09am

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.

scall

9/5/18 10:14am

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.

rainorsnow

9/5/18 3:57pm

Ole Miss / Texas Tech

9/5/18 10:23am

Everyone tuned in for Rod Gilmore.

cowbellcoug

9/5/18 10:21am

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:

9/5/18 10:51am

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

ditch

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

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.

And the yewt will be on to refute that in 3...2..1...

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

GenkiLawyer

9/5/18 6:35pm

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

9/5/18 1:08pm

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

Impressive considering...

Cougarpride

9/5/18 11:45am

Except ESPN doesn't mention the game on Sports Center or recaps of the week

CharlottesvilleCoug

9/5/18 12:02pm

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

Florwood

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

CougarinOZ

9/5/18 1:56pm

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

icecougar

9/5/18 2:31pm

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

OTA games nearly always dwarf the cable TV numbers

boscatar

9/5/18 4:22pm

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.
