Bulls make the most of WGRZ coverage
The Buffalo News is answering the questions that I needed answers to...
How well did the Bulls game do as a Saturday feature for them.
Well
1 - It did great
It had a preliminary 7.8 rating on WGRZ-TV (Channel 2). The rating peaked near game’s end at 11.3.
7.8 is a higher rating than prime-time television will typically get Western New York.
The News also noted it did better than a lot of Sabres games.
It was, however, only a quarter of what the Bills get. (But a quarter of the Bills audience is really all UB needs right now)
2 - It did better than any other College football game in Buffalo
That made it by far the highest-rated college football game carried Saturday on the local network affiliates.
