Spotted Ratings, Saturday 3/30/13

WHAT MATTERS:

• Wichita State's upset of Ohio State livened up Saturday primetime a bit with an 18-49 rating behind only The Voice on broadcast this week (and it was #1 in True2).

• Opposite the bball, the yearly Easter Eve broadcast of The Ten Commandments was down substantially year-to-year (vs. a 1.5 a year ago). The film didn't have to face basketball last year (on April 7). If Cops' week-to-week drop was any indication, basketball was a big factor.
