Media Notes

CBS' telecast on Saturday of the Army-Navy game was the highest-rated and most-watched of the series since '99. The game drew a 4.1 final rating and 6.3 million viewers, up 5% and 2%, respectively, from a 3.9 rating and 6.2 million viewers last year (THE DAILY).

BEAR DOWN: In Chicago, Lewis Lazare wrote the Bears "really have reached rock bottom this season." Monday night's 31-15 loss to the Saints earned a 23.7 overnight rating on WLS-ABC. In seasons past, when the Bears "were winning more than they are now, it was not uncommon for game telecasts to notch ratings in the 30's in the Chicago market." So it is "pretty obvious Bears fans are losing interest in the team pretty fast" (BIZJOURNALS.com, 12/16).

LEADER OF THE WAC: MULTICHANNEL NEWS' Jeff Baumgartner reported N.Y.-based multiscreen provider Piksel, in a partnership with Vista Worldlink, "won the deal to design and implement the systems running the Western Athletic Conference’s Digital Network." The WAC’s Digital Network, which uses Piksel’s Digital Stadium platform "to manage content, offers access to the WAC’s live and archived sports coverage across the conference’s eight member schools." The network is "offered through iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, Web browsers and Roku devices." The WAC "also lists NeuLion as a key tech partner" (MULTICHANNEL.com, 12/15).
