Dance With This: Eagles Game Receives 32.5 Rating in Philadelphia

Published:
Last night's Eagles game received a 32.5 combined rating in Philadelphia (roughly 1 million households), as it was simulcast on both ESPN and MyPHL17- more than doubling Dancing with the Stars' rating.
Normally, Monday Night Football, which is produced and broadcast primarily by ESPN, is shown on the network's parent company station (ABC) in local markets. However, since DWTS is one of the highest rated shows in the country (for realsies), the Eagles game was bumped to MyPHL17 for those without cable. I'm sure the folks at WPVI were thrilled that they were forced to pass on it.
PSD was all over the ratings number before it was official.
UPDATE: Michael Vick was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for the second week in a row and third time this season.
