Fast NTI’s for Saturday, November 7th:

CBS’s SATURDAY NIGHT FIGHTS aired 9:00-11:24PM. Fast NTI ratings are only available 9:00-11:00PM so CBS’s ratings will change when released Tuesday morning.

ABC (split national college football) had live event programming Saturday night. CBS and ABC ratings and all time period rankings are tentative and subject to change.

CBS SATURDAY NIGHT FIGHTS (S) was first in adults 18-49 (1.7/05), adults 18-34 (1.7/06), men 25-54 (2.4/07), men 18-49 (2.3/07), men 18-34 (2.2/08), tied for first in adults 25-54 (1.7/05 with both NBC and ABC) and third in both households (2.3/04) and viewers (3.79m).

Compared to the 9:00-11:00PM season-to-date averages (CRIMETIME SATURDAY and 48 HOURS MYSTERY), CBS SATURDAY NIGHT FIGHTS was up +31% in adults 18-49 (from 1.3/04), +113% in adults 18-34 (from 0.8/03), +100% in men 25-54 (from 1.2/03), +156% in men 18-49 (from 0.9/03), +267% in men 18-34 (from 0.6/02), even in adults 25-54, down -44% in households (from 4.1/08) and lost -2.33m viewers (from 6.12m, -38%).

CBS average from 9-11p vs. college football
M1834: 2.2 (#1 in the tp, 0.7 ahead of ABC’s prelim football number, the closest competitor.)
M1849: 2.3 (#1 in the tp, 0.3 ahead of ABC’s prelim football number.)
The M1834 rtg was #1 in the tp for all four half hours. At 9pm, the M1849 was a tenth behind ABC, but led the tp for the remaining half hours

 

I thought it would be higher as well considering TUF and Kimbo almost got double that in their first couple episodes.

 

This was the first time alot of MMA fans got to see Fedor on free TV. It's hard to promote the guy overnight to the Northamerican audience.

 

to be fair most people in north America(because Canada does good ppv numbers also) who don't have internet really wouldn't have been able to see Fedor. He fought in Pride,Bodog and Affliction and were not on TV for NorthAmericans to follow.

if I didn't go on MMA sites to learn about Fedor I wouldn't know much about him either.

That's the prob if coker thinks he will do big numbers for a ppv using Fedor. Affliction had a great first card but the numbers were dismal considering the payroll they had. On top of that Finkel pockets half of the profits making it tough to make money using Fedor.

 

Don't be stupid.....Do you look up everything that is available on the net? You have to go on MMA sites to know most news.atsch
