 >> Fox drew 1.6 million viewers for the first UFL Championship game on Sunday afternoon, featuring the Birmingham Stallions against the San Antonio Brahmas. That figure is well above the 2023 USFL title game on NBC (1.2 million for Stallions-Pittsburgh Maulers in July) and the 2023 XFL title game on ABC (1.4 million for Arlington Renegades-D.C. Defenders in May). It was the best spring football audience since the USFL drew 2.06 million for a Memphis Showboats-Michigan Panthers game in May 2023 that had the benefit of piggybacking off the Kentucky Derby. The UFL title game was also short of the 2001 XFL title game on NBC (2.91 million viewers). Stallions-Brahmas on Sunday peaked at 1.72 million viewers from 6:15-6:30pm ET. <<

Local ratings are in. No surprise, Birmingham laps the field. That San Antonio number seems a bit low, but hopefully work can be done to bring them closer to AAF levels. New Orleans coming in strong once again.

Ft. Myers is fascinating. That's my market. I have no idea why it would rank that high. 

EDIT: Turns out, Stallions C Cole Schneider is from Ft. Myers. Maybe he still has lots of family here?

San Antonio's Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is 2.7 million people. So 3.6% of that would be 97,200. Birmingham's MSA is 1.184M people.  6.8% of that is 80,512.

More people watched in San Antonio than in Birmingham based on raw numbers... based on percentage it looks difference.

For comparison, St. Louis is 2.8M in their MSA so 2.1% of that is 58.8k.

You're using the wrong #'s for population.

The Nielsen TV ratings use Nielsen mkt sizes - not MSA.  Usually directionally  the same, but even there not always.

SA is 1059k households  x .036 = 38124 households

Birm is 766k househlds  x .068 = 52088 households  - that 37% more than SA

Granted this was households not viewers, but with a similar viewer # per HH,  Birm definitely had more viewers than SA
