Despite being on a national network with a noon kickoff, UW drew more than 133% of the cuog audience with an 11pm kickoff on a cable-only network

@Kaepsknee thought it was a better situation to be on the CW in the same exact timeslot as a bunch of blue blood matchups.
After Texas Tech and UW it's going to be a Montana State level of viewership going forward for the ole' cuogs.
I can't wait until the winner of the WSU/OSU game claims that they're the "Real Pac 12 champions" because they're so butthurt about UW's Forever Trophy.

In before Koep responds with something referencing "half-share".
If you actually watch the B1GN, they've been kissing everyone's ass except maybe UCLA, which is coming around during basketball.
The production of the broadcast was so much better than the pac 12 network also.
The half share thing is a short term problem, not a program ending one. Such a weird observation.
They have literally nothing else
And let’s be real. 306K viewers (or whatever it was) for UW sucks giant donkey dongs. But let’s see what a 12:30 start does this week.
It's not even a short term problem.
The immediate costs for UW are paying more for the stadium and the production studio that the B1G demands of every school. And even then they managed to build a stupid hookers and blow basketball center.
It has almost no barring on getting talent in the door wrt football.
I thought the audio/visual was way better too. Pac 12 Network was small potatoes.
TBF, that's 306,000 more people than if it aired on the Pac-12 network
The entire thing is muddled because what did everyone in California, Oregon, and Washington (that didn't attend) and subscribe to Comcast do? Finding a place to watch is less hassle than doing a trial service that you have to cancel in 2 weeks.
