Ratings: ESPN's O.J.: Made in America Gets Strong Start With ABC Kickoff
ABC’s launch of ESPN’s latest 30 for 30 documentary, O.J.: Made in America, led a quiet Saturday night, scoring a 0.9 demo rating (per the fine folks at TVByTheNumbers).
With 3.6 million total viewers, the special ABC kickoff appears to be the second-most watched 30 for 30 outing ever, trailing only a December 2012 profile of Bo Jackson.
