MAVTV scored a 'home run' with its first 'live' broadcast of 2014. According to Bob Patison, President of MAVTV; "The network was extremely pleased with its performance. I thought our coverage was very good and the broadcast team led by Dave Despain did an outstanding job," said Patison.

In addition our preliminary ratings show the Chili Bowl to be the highest rated show in the network's history."
