A high-profile college football battle led the way for Versus last week.
Florida State’s upset victory over BYU drew 972,000 viewers on Versus Saturday night, making the game the network’s most-viewed program of the week.
To put the numbers in perspective, the ’09 Stanley Cup Playoffs averaged 879,000 viewers on Versus, and the ’09 Tour de France averaged 530,000 viewers.
Keep in mind that Saturday’s game was unavailable to DirecTV subscribers, as the satellite provider dropped Versus on September 1.
Previously, SMW reported that FSU/BYU drew 606,000 viewers. That was actually the number of households that tuned into the game.
