Some 17 million viewers tuned in for Michigan’s 45-23 victory over Ohio State on Saturday. That makes it the most-watched common season recreation ever on Fox, and the most important on any community since 2011.
The matchup between the Large 10 rivals noticed the viewership peak at 19.6 million viewers, up three p.c over final 12 months’s recreation on Fox.
Prime native markets included three Ohio cities, together with OSU’s hometown of Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland, plus Detroit and Indianapolis.
