College football accounted for four of the top 20 prime-time programs from Aug. 29 to Sept. 4, led by ABC’s first “Saturday Night Football” game of 2022.
ABC’s first “Saturday Night Football” game of 2022 drew the largest prime-time audience since the concluding game of the NBA Finals and the most viewers for a regular-season college football game on ABC since 2017.
On its first full week of season, college football accounted for four of the top 20 prime-time programs, including Florida State’s 24-23 victory over LSU Sunday on ABC, which averaged 7.554 million viewers, second among prime-time programs between Aug. 29 and Sunday. NBC finished second, averaging 2.63 million, and CBS averaged 2.56 million viewers to finish third after back-to-back first-place finishes. CBS’ popular “60 Minutes” was in fifth place, averaging 5.124 million viewers for an edition with three previously aired segments that were updated for Sunday’s broadcast.
The 20 most-watched prime-time programs consisted of four college football games — two on ABC and one each on Fox and ESPN; two episodes of “America’s Got Talent”; “60 Minutes”; ESPN’s coverage of what is likely Serena Williams’ final tennis match; NBC’s “Password” and “American Ninja Warrior”; three episodes of the CBS alternative series “Big Brother”; reruns of the CBS series “FBI,” “Young Sheldon” and “The Neighborhood”; ABC’s “The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All” and “Press Your Luck”; and...
MSNBC was the only other cable network to average more than 1 million viewers, averaging 1.358 million.
