Northwestern/Notre Dame Football Gets a 2.0 Overnight

NBC’s first Notre Dame telecast in more than a month generated a modest increase in overnight ratings.

The Northwestern/Notre Dame college football game drew a 2.0 overnight rating on NBC Saturday afternoon, up 11% from Navy/Notre Dame last year (1.8) but down 54% from Pittsburgh/Notre Dame in 2012 (4.3). The game marked just the second time in six telecasts this season that NBC has had an increase in overnights for Notre Dame coverage.

With that said, the 2.0 is the second-lowest of the season for Notre Dame on NBC, ahead of only the season opener against Rice (1.4).

The Wildcats’ upset victory trailed both Nebraska/Wisconsin on ABC (2.3) and Mississippi State/Alabama on CBS (6.6). It did outdraw Washington/Arizona on FOX (0.9), reports Sports Media Watch.
