I decided to do a straight comparison of FS1 studio shows between the week before the Oklahoma-Baylor game and this week, tracking the cumulative effect after two hugely popular games. The general pattern does seem to be one of gaining viewers, though not always in a statistically significant fashion. There’s a lot of noise involved in the numbers of both Crowd Goes Wild and Fox Football Daily, for example; it’s hard to tell how much of CGW’s drop-off is due to the NASCAR season ending leading to an exodus of viewers from NASCAR Race Hub.
A couple of other things stand out to me. First, we have another sign that Fox shouldn’t be too disappointed with Fox College Saturday, as it’s beating all the weekday afternoon shows and all of FSL’s lead-in-independent averages. Second, in both of these weeks Fox NFL Kickoff didn’t have NASCAR RaceDay as a lead-in and still did over 100,000 viewers, blowing away any other non-NASCAR studio show and being a huge standout for FS1. Considering the numbers ESPN and NFL Network get for NFL Insiders, NFL Live, Around the League, and NFL Total Access compared to NFL Matchup, Fantasy Football Now, and NFL Gameday First, Fox Football Daily should be doing a lot better than it is. If I don’t see some marked improvement in its numbers by the end of 2013 I’ll be left with the conclusion that Fox should consider tinkering with its timeslot. Putting it at 5 ET, against ATH and PTI, or 4 ET, against NFL Live, are probably bad ideas. Is the midnight ET airing, where it does much better than the first-run airings earlier in the day (and where it did nearly as well as Fox NFL Kickoff Wednesday), a test run for moving it there permanently?
