UGA Bulldogs bigger TV stars than ATL Falcons

[HMFFL]

It’s unusual for a college football game — or any programming, for that matter — to beat an NFL game in the television ratings. But the Bulldogs beat the Falcons on Atlanta TV last weekend.

Saturday’s Georgia-South Carolina game on CBS posted a 16.0 rating in the metro Atlanta TV market, meaning about 370,000 households tuned in on average.

Sunday’s Falcons-Tampa Bay game on Fox drew a 15.7 rating in metro Atlanta, or about 363,000 households.

And Saturday’s Georgia Tech-Virginia Tech game, which aired at the same time as the Georgia-South Carolina game, posted a 4.4 rating on ABC, or about 102,000 metro Atlanta households.

The rating is the percentage of the market’s TV households tuned in on average during a telecast.

I just assumed Georgia games were usually the bigger draw in the post-Vick era...

Guess not.
