Week 3 of the 2025 season was busy. ESN broadcast a total of 15 games. 3 girls soccer, 4 volleyball and 8 football games. The big match-up of the 2 defending Champions of their highest classification in Oregon and Washington set a new high for a single game broadcast. 6A West Linn won the Oregon 6A State Championship last year and Sumner took the 4A State Title. These two teams battled each other last year in a non-league showdown in Oregon. The home-and-home series concluded last Friday before a massive crowd at Sumner high school.
This was our largest viewing week of the year so far with numbers beginning to go up across the board. Below are the week 3 numbers you can check out to see how your games on ESN did and then below that are the weekly numbers and cumulative totals.
Measuring system
Our rankings are based on actual device views, we also take an educated guess as to how many people per device are watching or listening. That number is slightly more than 2 people per device at 2.25. We believe that is a very conservative number. However, if you don’t want to believe the guess there is no denying the actual number of unique device counts.
Traditional media has guessed for decades at their readership, listeners and viewers. Newspapers used to times 4 for each printed edition of their paper regardless of how many were delivered or sold based on the belief of an average household was 4 people and each one of them looked at the paper at some point.
Radio and television for years had a small group of people who used to literally keep diaries of their listening and viewing habits and with a mathematical formula extrapolated the ratings numbers.
In the end, we know how many devices tuned in to ESN and we then divide each device view into the overall devices for a final percent for the week, which we will call our “share” of viewers.
