Due to being away from my computer for the entire daylight hours, I was unable to update the site. I’m back now so expect a few posts here before I have to prepare for Friday. Let’s give you what CBS is saying about its SEC regular season college football package.
CBS is claiming a ratings victory over the ESPN on ABC package with a 4.2 rating and a 9 share. That’s compared to a 3.5/8 on ABC. This year’s ratings are down slightly from last year’s 4.2/10 and 2009’s 4.4/10.
We provide the short blurb from CBS Sports.
2011 “SEC ON CBS” SCORES HIGHEST RATING OF ANY COLLEGE FOOTBALL TELEVISION PACKAGE FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR
CBS Sports’ national coverage of the SEC ON CBS for the 2011 season is the highest-rated regular-season college football package on any network for the third consecutive season averaging a national household rating/share of 4.2/9.
The SEC ON CBS season average of a 4.2/9 topped ABC’s season average of 3.5/8 for college football.
CBS Sports’ coverage of the SEC ON CBS was highlighted by the three highest-rated college football telecasts of the 2011 season:
