Ratings: Broadcast Finals for September 28, 2013

Just one series premiere on Saturday night, as 48 HOURS drew 6.1 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in Adults 18-49. That is up about 1.2 million viewers and 11% in the demo ratings, from a year ago. Other than football, 48 HOUES is about the only regular series that can attract an audience on the night.

ABC's college football game, featuring Ohio State and Wisconsin, was the most watched program on the night, with 6.8 million viewers and a solid 2.2 rating in the demographic. The key to ABC's football  success on the night is the agreements with the better football conferences. Just having a game is not enought. Just ask FOX.
