4/29 – NFL Draft Day One Ratings Fall Some

Day one of the 2011 NFL draft saw a 4.3 overnight on ESPN for first round, down 20% from 5.4 for first round last year.  The conjecture is that viewer interest may have been hurt by the NFL lockout and absence of free agency transactions. Also, during Thursday’s primetime schedule, NBC aired a special 50-minute “The Office” at 9:00 pm, and Fox aired “American Idol” at 8:00 pm.
