TV ratings tell the story;
America loves the Bears
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Super Bowl XX
was a smash hit with the nation’s
television viewers Sunday, despite
the Chicago Bears’ crushing 46-10
victory over the New England Patri
ots.
And that was a pleasant surprise
to NBC.
“There are so many characters on
this team,” Kevin Monahan, an NBC
spokesman, said of the winners.
“This fascination with the Bears
helped keep America tuned in.”
In the A.C. Nielsen overnight rat
ings of 12 cities, the Super Bowl had
a 46.8 rating and 70 share — mean
ing 70 percent of all sets turned on
Sunday night were turned to NBC.
And although the Bears dominated
the game, grabbing a 23-3 halftime
lead, not that many viewers switched
channels at intermission.
The first half of the game, from
4:14 p.m. until 6 p.m., had a 48.1
rating, meaning 48.1 percent of all
sets in the country were tuned to the
game, and a share of 74. From 6
p.m. until 8 p.m., the rating
dropped to 45.8 and a 67 share.

Louisiana Tech,” Roper said. “I was
telling all my friends that that was
where I was going. But then I
changed my mind and decided to
come to A&M.”
And Roper hasn’t looked back
since.
She currently leads the Lady Ags
in assists with 88 and is second in
scoring (10.9 points a game) and
steals (41) behind senior Lisa Lan
gston.
Roper, whose brother, John, is a
linebacker on the A&M football
team, said college has been quite an
adjustment — both on the court and
in the classroom.
“In Houston, we had no compet
ition,” she said. “I knew each game
was going to be a blowout. But the
pressure of playing for a big school
(like A&M) is a lot tougher than I ex
pected.
“In high school, I had plenty of
time to do what I wanted after prac
tice. Here, you have to make your
self stay up and study. It’s just work,
work, work.”
Like Hickey, Roper said she
thinks the Lady Ags have a better
team than their record (10-8 overall,
4-3 in the SWC) indicates.
“For my first season, it’s going
OK,” Roper said. “But it could be
better. I’ve felt, game-wise, we could
be 6-1 (in the SWC), but we just
weren’t playing together. We had
been used to each other since we
first started practicing, but we
weren’t really close until we started
losing.”
When asked if she is hoping to be
named to the All-SWC team in her
first season, Roper replied, “I wasn’t
thinking about it until people started
telling me I had a chance. I just go
out and play my game and try to
help the team.”
Which is just what she and the rest
of the Lady Aggies will try to do to
night when they take on Arkansas at
7:30 p.m. in G. Rollie White Col
iseum.
The Lady Razorbacks are coming
off an 86-55 victory over Baylor and
are 12-4 on the season, tied for sec
ond-place in the conference with
T exas Techat6-1.
Hickey said UA has good size,
strong ball handlers and a powerful
inside game.
“This is (Arkansas’) first road
game against one of the better teams
in the conference,” Hickey said.
“The fact that the ratings did not
drop that much in the second half,
less than three points, was just a
pleasant surprise to us,” Monahan
said. “We could hear television sets
clicking off all over America. You
get this game once every three years.
Then to have a game like that in the
second half. .
Chicago led the nation, boasting a
63.2 rating and 87 share, while Bos
ton had a 51.4 rating and 73 share.
But Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles and
San Francisco also had a share of 70
or higher.
Last year, when the San Francisco
49ers trounced the Miami Dolphins
38-16 in a game carried on ABC, the
overnight Nielsens were a 43.3 rai
ing and 62 share.
The lowest overnight rating wa
in New York, where the Super Bov
had a 41.4 rating and 60 share.lt
the other cities surveyed, it was: Mi
ami, 43.4 rating, 63 share; Detroit
46.7, 64; Houston, 43.8, 67; Phila
delphia, 46.0, 67; Washington, DC.
47.0, 67; Dallas, 52.4, 71; Los Air
eles, 43.1,75; Denver, 45.8, 76.anc
an Francisco, 45.2, 77.
Philadelphia was almost the Sant
as last year, while San Francisco,na;
urally, showed a drop. In even
other city, this year’s ratings wert
higher than hist year’s.
There were no overnight ratings;
year ago in Miami, Houston an;
Denver.
“One thing we had noticed abot
the Chicago Bears before the Supe:
Bowl,” Monahan said, "was that a;
of their games have been blowout!
and yet CBS, which televises the/
regular season games, showed ai
most no dropoff in ratings in thestt
ond half.
“The Bears really are a nationa
phenomenon.”
