Top Broadcast & Cable Sports Originals for Sunday, September 24 and Saturday, September 23, 2023
Fox's late 4:25P NFL window topped the weekend action. Who won the Colorado/Oregon or OSU/Notre Dame showdown? Debate!
Fox’s late 4:25PM window (a mix of Bears/Chiefs and Cardinals/Cowboys) easily led the weekend action.
In pure Nielsen measurement, Colorado/Oregon squeaked past Ohio State/Notre Dame 10.03 million to 9.98 million but Nielsen doesn’t include any of the streaming on Peacock (because it runs different ads) and NBC claims that accounts for 605K which would boost the total 10.6 million. Which number should you use? I don’t know.
Update: sorry wrestling fans, I didn't add in AEW: Collision for Saturday: it averaged 562K and a 0.18 adults 18-49 rating. It's a manual process to add it since it's not considered sports for Nielsen purposes, and I forgot! So it’s not in the table below for Saturday.

Robert, do the UniMas numbers for Liga MX games already include the simulcast numbers on TUDN? Or do we have to take both numbers for the total compilation? For example: 315k for Cruz Azul/Queretaro or 455k (315k UniMas + 140k TUDN)? Thank you!
