March Madness continues its plateau

Viewership of the NCAA March Madness tournament has remained consistent over the last three years, according to the Ipsos Consumer Tracker.

The Ipsos Consumer Tracker asks Americans questions about culture, the economy and the forces that shape our lives. Here's one thing we learned this week.
 

 

Why we asked: It’s March.

What we found: We’ve been asking about the NCAA March Madness college basketball tournaments for a few years, and not much has changed over that period. About half of folks don’t plan to watch any of it (compared to about 25% who sit out of the Super Bowl). A plurality plan to watch on TV (27%) or streaming (16%). More now plan to take part in a casual bracket challenge. And a consistent one in ten only pay attention to college basketball during the tournaments.
