Tuesday Night Links or The BCS Ratings Fall

Taking a look at the overnights from last night, Fox won the ratings over its competition, but its numbers for the BCS Championship Game are down from last year as the Sports Media Watch tells us.

Pete Dougherty of the Albany (NY) Times Union has Fox’s spin as to why the numbers are down from last year.

Neil Best of Newsday writes in his Watchdog blog that the numbers for the BCS Championship Game were less than stellar. Neil also has the Arbitron ratings showing that the Fall ’07 book was a good one for WFAN’s new morning show.

John Consoli of Mediaweek says while the BCS Championship numbers dropped, Fox still used the game to steer the night to a win in the key demographics.

ESPN wants you to know that 2007 was very good viewing year for ESPN2 and ESPNews.

Chris Pursell of TV Week writes in his Pressbox blog that Versus is getting ready for its first-ever college bowl game this weekend (and you thought college bowl season was over).

That will do it for tonight. I’m watching the New Hampshire Primary coverage and working on finishing my Amazing Race episode recaps.
