Weekend of March 22-23 MARCH MADNESS (MEN): The NCAA men’s basketball tournament is averaging a combined 9.4 million viewers per window across CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV, the highest two-round average since 1993 and up from 9.04 million at the same point last year. (Keep in mind Nielsen did not track out-of-home viewing in its estimates until 2020 and did not do so in 100 percent of markets until earlier this year.) Sunday’s slate averaged a combined 10.1 million (+13%). The early evening window averaged a combined 15.3 million across CBS, TBS and TNT, followed by the nightcap at 8.0 million on TBS, TNT and truTV — up from 14.9 and 6.7 million respectively last year. Earlier in the day, CBS drew 9.6 million for Duke-Baylor and 7.8 million for Florida-UConn, up from last year’s 8.1 million for Purdue-Utah State and 5.6 million for Marquette-Colorado.
