Sunday Final Nationals: ESPN Wins the Night in All Key Demos Despite Decade-Low for NFL Pro Bowl

5 Comments

CBS topped Sunday night in total viewers (9.23 million).

ESPN was the prime time leader in key demos: adults 18-49 (approx. 2.2 rating), adults 18-34 (approx. 1.9 rating), and adults 25-54 (approx. 2.5 rating) which included coverage of NFL’s “AFC-NFC Pro Bowl.” The All-Star game itself delivered 7.45 million viewers, a 4.19 U.S. household rating and a 2.56 rating among adults 18-49 — figures that rank as the lowest rated Pro Bowl (in households) since 2006 (3.7) and the least-watched (in viewers) since 2007 (7 million).

It was the sixth consecutive Pro Bowl to decline from the previous year.

The game peaked at a 4.9 household rating and 8.9 million viewers from 8:30-9 p.m. ET.
