That's 14% higher than the 2.9 million that watched the AAF, and that's despite a lesser time slot.

its 13% higher - ie its comparable - though AAF was in primetime

Bottomline - Its a great start for XFL

You're right. I misread the calculator.

And that 3.3M is more likely to carry over to Saturday too, being that's in the more traditional weekend sports window. The AAF drew a million for their first game of week two on TNT, imagine what they could have had in set spots.

Unless I missed something, that's higher than any daytime college game run by ABC all season save Week 11 PSU-Minnesota and Week 2 TAMU-Clemson.

Week 1 is the easy part, but it's a rock solid start.

Duke-Bama (of course if Bama went independent and played no one but MAC and CUSA teams the whole year they'd be good for about four million viewers on the low end).

this is great. hopefully next week is just as great. i’m really excited for next weeks match ups.

Sorry, I was thinking it was a 3.3 rating. 3.3 million viewers is much less impressive.

Its an extremely impressive debut for the league.

BTW - I read they the nets were hoping for 1.5mm a game on broadcast and 800k on cable.

Somebody got my $50 ready? What's that translate into in ratings?
