Saturday Final Nationals: ABC and Fox Garner Positives with College Football

by Douglas Pucci September 19, 2017, 9:32 pm 2 Comments

ABC won its third consecutive Saturday evening among households, viewers and all key male and adult demos with “Saturday Night Football” that featured the defending national champion Clemson Tigers versus the Louisville Cardinals. Clemson’s 47-21 victory over Louisville delivered a total live audience of 5.206 million viewers, college football’s most-watched prime-time game in week 3 and was up 79 percent from last season’s week 3 prime time game of USC vs. Stanford.

USC Trojans’ double-overtime 27-24 win over the Texas Longhorns is Fox’s most-watched college football game of the year. The contest drew 4.912 million viewers on Fox and set a new Fox Sports GO’s regular-season college football record with an average minute audience of 41,310, a +13 percent increase over the previous mark of 36,718 set in 2016 for Texas-Oklahoma.
