[4th&long]

Get a jump looking at Wk 4 - Friday

Mich vs Philly FS1 at 10pm EST

Well with another Phillies v NY Mets game at 7pm and Sixers v Heat at 7:30... if the game had to be Friday The league looks to be avoiding major Philadelphia sports.

The first FOX intrasquad USFL/WWE squabble (on the west coast)

But 9:00 local start, that's a first.

What are your ratings predictions for Week 4?

A bit more competition from MLB, NBA/NHL playoffs and omnipresent soccer. Including some big cities at play at time of USFL games.

Some preliminary numbers in for Sat night floating around, about 1mm.

I'll go 1.1mm Saturday (Fox) , 800k Sunday (NBC), late night FS1 (250k).

I'll take a stab. FS1-225k. Fox primetime- 1.15 million. NBC-900k.

LA extreme - Good call on Friday - I was hoping for a little better but 10:20 EST delayed start, not bad.

I don't want to say I cheated, but being the stats nerd that I am, I follow Google trends very closely. The USFL had trended a bit upward from the prior week with the 6PM Sunday period spiking through the roof. This shows one of 2 things, either people were really invested in the ending of the game, or they were anxiously anticipating the start of the local news. Most likely, it was a combination of the 2.

Here's the full Sports week. USFL (broadcast) beat all NHL sans 1 game. NBC beat ALL soccer. FOX beat all soccer sans 59k short of one UEFA CBS playoff game!
MLB SNB on ESPN with 2 mega markets LA/Chicago (1,781k) and 2 more Top markets in Boston/Chicago had 1,259k ahead of USFL, the rest were beat. These were mega market games and would expect to do well on ESPN/Broadcast and they did.

The weather wasn't great in NE Saturday and Sunday was Mother's Day.

Remember its only 6pm in one time zone. Either was a WINNER for USFL.

One other thing to note... The highest rated game of the week had minimal attendance.

Take note.
