Rose Bowl Game pulls in big ratings for ABC-TV

ABC-TV's coverage of the 2007 Rose Bowl game, which began at 4:30 p.m. EST and ran through 9:00 p.m., delivered 19 million viewers and a 6.6 rating/15 share between 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. yesterday. By way of comparison, the Fiesta Bowl on FOX peaked at 15.7 million viewers between 9:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. The numbers for the Rose Bowl broadcast would have likely been even higher had Erin Andrews been doing the sideline reporting.
