For the first time in four years, ratings increased for the NCAA Tournament Selection Show on CBS.
The NCAA Tournament Selection Show drew a 4.8/10 overnight rating on CBS Sunday evening, up 9% from a 4.4 last year, and the highest rating for the program since the 2005 edition drew a 5.7.

After drawing at least a 5.0 overnight for ten consecutive years (1996-2005), the Selection Show has drawn an overnight below 5.0 for four straight years.
