Chiefs-Texans: TV ratings bonanza (25M viewers)

[Prison Bitch]

3rd highest watched Sat afternoon WC in 17 years. Not really certain why the public was interested in this one, but they were. Other notes:


1. 13% hike over last year
2. First NFL game on ABC since Jan 2006
3. Top markets: KC (52.1!), Hou (32.6) and Denver (24.0)

Sweet!

Did they combine the #'s of both ESPN and ABC viewership?

That would explain the 13% increase from last year since last year's early Saturday Wild Card game was only on ESPN (not simulcast on ABC).

Still it is an impressive # considering the game was a blow out.

Wait, a game that was on broadcast over a comparable to cable had more viewer? How, unusual

Funny how Denver had such high ratings. They were shitting their pants in fear about facing us again and having us end Peyton Maggot's career (if not his life)

Will this have any effect on us possibly scoring some prime time games next season? Sunday night, Monday night, etc..

I don't know the interest in the game either but we'll take it.

Denver is always the highest rated city for the Chiefs outside of Kansas City and who we are playing. Kansas City is normal the highest rated city for Broncos games as well.
