9 Comments

For the sixth consecutive week of the college football season, “Saturday Night Football” has helped ABC win the night among households, viewers and all key male and adult demos (M18-34, M18-49, M25-54, P18-34, P18-49 and P25-54). “Saturday Night Football” has been the most-watched prime-time game each week of the 2017 college football season and the most-watched game of the week five of six weeks. On this night, ABC had aired Michigan State’s 14-10 upset win over Michigan. The television audience peaked at 8.858 million viewers as Michigan was driving for a potential game-winning touchdown (11 – 11:15 p.m.).

The Oct. 7 telecast of “Saturday Night Live”, hosted by Gal Gadot (“Wonder Woman”), musical guest Sam Smith and a special appearance by Jason Aldean, averaged 6.802 million viewers overall and a 1.76 rating in adults 18-49 – the show’s second-biggest Week 2 overall viewership in five years, trailing only the presidential election-fueled Oct. 8, 2016 (Lin-Manuel Miranda and Twenty One Pilots — 7.140 million viewers overall, 2.11 rating in adults 18-49), according to “fast official” “live plus same day” results from Nielsen Media Research.
