TV Ratings: Week 8 College Football Overnights on FOX, ESPN (Also: Skate America Overnights)
For the second straight week, college football did poorly on FOX. In other news, the SEC led the way on ESPN yet again, and figure skating?s Skate America competition suffered a decline on NBC. Another Rough Week For College Football on FOX: Saturday?s Kansas State/West Virginia college football game drew a 1.7 overnight rating on FOX, down a tick from USC/Washington the previous week (1.8), and down 47% from West Virginia/Texas two weeks ago (3.2).

NBC continues to rack up big increases for Notre Dame coverage this season. Saturday?s BYU/Notre Dame college football game earned a 2.7 overnight rating on NBC, up 125% from the fifth Notre Dame telecast on the network last year, against Navy (1.2), and up 93% from the fifth such telecast in 2010, against Western Michigan (1.4).

Arguably the game of the week in college football, Saturday?s SEC clash between Florida and South Carolina could not match last year?s comparable game.

Read more ? The NBA Probably Prevented ESPN From Hiring Stan Van Gundy
The NBA league office more than likely rejected ESPN?s bid to hire former Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy. ESPN considered hiring Van Gundy for the ?NBA Countdown? studio show, but elected to go in a different direction. Earlier this month, The Big Lead reported that NBA Commissioner David Stern ?allegedly stepped in and prevented ESPN from hiring Van Gundy, who he has been at odds with for over a year? (The Big Lead, 10/10). Van Gundy certainly believes this [...]
Read more ? Is Fox Sports 1 Already ESPN?s Closest Rival?
For all the talk the past few months, it should be pointed out that Fox Sports 1 does not actually exist yet. Compared to the other major 24-hour sports networks, however, FS1 may already be a stronger competitor for ESPN than NBC Sports Network or CBS Sports Network have ever been. The first and most basic reason for this is distribution. Fox Sports 1 would replace Speed Channel, which was in 80.8 million television homes at the start of October [...]
