CFB Week 11 Overnights: Notre Dame Not Much of a Draw on NBC

The season’s final Notre Dame game on the NBC broadcast network hit a season-low.

The Wake Forest/Notre Dame college football game had a 1.4 overnight rating on NBC, down 30% from NBC’s sixth Notre Dame telecast last season, against Northwestern (2.0) and down 22% from the sixth telecast in 2013, against Navy (1.8).

The 1.4 overnight is the lowest of the season for any Notre Dame game (ten telecasts), falling below the previous mark set against UMass in week five (1.45 to 1.39). It also ranked dead last among college football games on broadcast over the weekend, the second time this season that NBC’s Notre Dame coverage has brought up the rear.
