Reference to: "Olympics: TV ratings confirm Utah loves the games. Nation's top rated television market."
Not a surprising statement but rather a very expected fact. A programmed people with historical years of solid values equals an admiration of highest efforts. Like precise eighth notes played in rhythmic progression, Utahns (since 1847) have consistently demonstrated their allegiance to rules and regulations, self-discipline and sacrifice. The surrounding majestic mountains only serve to remind these stalwart souls of constancy, fortitude and commitment. Success, drive and high AP scores are part of the Utah vocabulary and daily this TV market strives for the finish line.
