The Pro Bowl's new, earlier date resulted in more viewers tuning in
to the NFL's all-star game.
Sunday's AFC-NFC matchup on ESPN was watched by an average of
12.3 million viewers, the most since 2000. That's up 40 percent
from last year's Pro Bowl on NBC, which drew 8.8 million viewers
when the event was held after the Super Bowl.
This season's game was in a later time slot, when more people
watch TV. But it also had to compete against the Grammys on CBS,
which attracted 25.8 million viewers, the most since 2004.
