2017-2018 Bowl TV ratings

• For the "too many bowls" crowd...through the first 20 bowl games of 2017 - 18 on ESPN and two on ABC – viewership is up 12% compared to last season’s first 20 games. More big numbers coming tomorrow with Alamo. o This year: 2,240,000 viewers o Last year: 2,003,000 viewers

Not to be lost from yesterday for the true wonks (and cable v. broadcast crew) is that the Belk Bowl and Music City Bowl both easily beat the Sun Bowl on CBS. https://t.co/DgtTHSsBT4
