That's awesome. More viewers than the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl.... I wonder how it compared to the Fiesta Bowl (and the huge Ohio State fanbase) and the Championship game (or would they be included, since they were on a network TV station, not cable)

Stealing attention from the Big Dogs?

Priceless!

gofightingducks...Network and Cable are different mediums, so numbers aren't comparable. So most likely we didnt beat the Rose, Orange, and Sugar...still big to be #1 though.

Guys, remember, this is CABLE ratings. In other words, Fox, ABC, CBS, and NBC don't count. So no, the Rose Bowl did get more viewers, as did the Fiesta bowl. We were the highest ranked program on CABLE.

Wow pretty impressive.

Not too surprised because our game really did get a lot of hype.

Way more then the Sugar Bowl and Orange Bowl.

I have been casually looking, but I can't find Sun Bowl ratings, especially since it came nowhere near the top twenty broadcast shows for that week.

Here are the ratings for all of last year's bowl games, I'm sure this year's will be posted soon. Oregon got about 2 times as many viewers this year than they did last year for the Sun Bowl.

good to see

And the closer it got to a 3-0 shellacking of Pitt, the lower the ratings sank...

These numbers reflect live viewing plus same day DVR usage. If you look at live viewing only, the Holiday Bowl is number two behind the Alamo Bowl.

Alamo Bowl - 4.41
Holiday Bowl - 4.38 Million Homes

Of course nobody in the industry actually cares about Household data. The real money is in M18-49...

Holiday Bowl - 1.78 Million M18-49 viewers
Alamo Bowl - 1.74 Million M18-49 viewers

In the business, at face value, they are practically the same thing. Of course, you'd want those extra 40K viewers but no huge difference over one telecast.

Keep in mind these are impressions and not ratings.

Woundedknees...

I'm glad you got so much mileage from my post on eDuck.com

It would appear that you stole it verbatum, next time, just quote the source

[ncduck]

So A1, are you saying you are the one who failed to correctly source Nielsen's numbers?
