Today, traditional TV still accounts for the lion’s share of video viewing, but online and mobile are where the growth is. From fourth quarter 2012 to fourth-quarter 2013, the hours consumers spent watching online video grew 30%. When managed together, TV/digital/mobile hold the potential to drive real impact for advertisers—enabling them to maximize the customers they reach and/or reinforce key messaging across screens. After all, ‘It’s all about screens’.

CBS Wins On Saturday With College Football Beating…College Football.
CBS
The Tiffany Network won for the second night in a row with football, college football. At 8P, it presented in prime time the over run of the South Carolina upset of Georgia and it pulled in the biggest numbers of the night as 6.24 million tuned into the contest. At 9P, a first run of the failing program, ‘Reckless’ drew 3.06 million viewers and at 10P, another episode of ‘Reckless’ drew even less, with only 2.58 million viewers. Black Rock should be thanking Steve Spurrier for the exciting Gamecock’s thriller.
ABC
The Alphabet Network presented its college football game of the evening as at 8P, it brought Tennessee Volunteers against the Oklahoma Sooners in an intersectional match up as the Sooners beat the Vols as 3.72 million viewers tuned in.
NBC
The Peacock Network threw its football hat into the ring with the only team that has its own broadcast television network, the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. At 8P in a game against the Purdue Boilermakers from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, the Irish won with 3.20 million viewers tuning in. While it was a big battle in Indiana, it didn’t match up and finished third on the evening (that is before the cable results of the Southern Cal upset loss to Boston College on ESPN comes in).
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast completed the all college football evening as at 8P, as it presented another intersectional clash between the UCLA Bruins of the Pac 12 and the Texas Longhorns of the Big 8 from Jerryworld in Arlington, Texas. UCLA remained undefeated as it beat the Longhorns 20-17 as 2.23 million viewers watched.
NOTE: Due to the nature of live sports coverage, ratings for ABC NBC CBS & FOX (College Football) are preliminary and likely to change in the final ratings.
For The Record
CBS finished #1 on Saturday with 4.38 million viewers on average for the evening. ABC finished second with 3.72 million viewers. NBC came in #3 with 3.20 million viewers. FOX finished last with 2.23 million viewers.
