Wednesday Final Nationals: Scarce Turnout for Foster Farms Bowl on Fox

Wednesday night featured CBS leading in total viewers (4.72 million), ABC leading in adults 18-34 (0.6 rating) and adults 25-54 (1.3 rating) while sharing the adults 18-49 lead with NBC (0.9 rating apiece).

Fox’s “Foster Farms Bowl” with Utah versus Indiana from San Francisco drew just 2.63 million viewers. According to Sports Media Watch, its viewership dipped to a four-year low for this particular Bay Area bowl, was the least-watched college football bowl game on a broadcast network in any time slot (daytime or prime time) since ABC’s 2014 Las Vegas Bowl (2.1 million) and, on the day itself, ranked third among the four college football bowl games (Russell Athletic Bowl 4.3 million, Texas Bowl 3.8 million, Pinstripe Bowl 2.4 million) that aired on TV that day.
