There's a very obvious range based on the channel. For the most part ESPN games will always have more viewers than ESPN2 games which will always have more viewers than ESPNU games.

With that in mind, check out the Ohio@NIU game- 2X the new number of viewers than any other game on ESPNU and more viewers than 6 of the games on ESPN2, and the Thanksgiving game on ESPN. That is a significant outlier.

An interesting number not there is WMU @ TOL on Black Friday (which wasn't on an ESPN channel, but CBSSN).

Audience for that game would have been hurt by the AAC game (Navy/HOU) at the same time.

What I am wondering is, are these numbers just the TV viewers or do they include live streaming?

Cable TV is an aging market. More 20 and 30 somethings do not have cable than the ones that do. They look to the internet and streaming from companies like Netflix in order to get their entertainment. I am a bit older than this demographic, but I myself ditched cable years ago.

So I ask the question again. Are these numbers for TV viewing only, or do we know if they include streaming?

TV viewers. The WATCHESPN numbers are counted totally separately within ESPN. Nobody knows those numbers unless ESPN releases them.

That isn't all the G5 controlled games in that time frame, I'm not seeing any of the major network games listed, and then just the cable games between G5 schools, not G5 hosting P5, where it's a G5 game, right?


RE: MACtion Ratings 2015 - HuskieAlumnus03 - 12-10-2015 10:39 AM

1.034M viewers for the MACC

Good point. I'm a millennial cable cutter, so any MACtion I've gotten to see this season has been courtesy of my handy dandy WatchESPN app and my Chromecast.
