Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Friday, October 24, 2008
Subhead: “Through Two Games Down 19% vs. 2007.” The best fans of out-of-market baseball seem to be in St. Louis, natch.
- The 8.1/13 for Game 2 is down -27% compared to last year’s 11.1/18 for Rockies-Red Sox on a Thursday, and down -30% from 2006’s 11.6/18 for Cardinals-Tigers on a Sunday with a big NFL lead-in. [...]
- The first two games of the 2008 World Series have averaged an 8.7/14, down -19% compared to last year’s 10.8/18, but just -11% versus the first two games of 2006 (9.8/17). That said, the World Series ranks No. 16 among all prime time shows, +38% better than the average ABC/CBS/NBC in prime to date (6.3). [...]
- Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg led all markets with a 31.3/47, followed closely by Philadelphia (30.7/44). Florida markets Fort Myers and Orlando each posted a 13.1/20 to place third, followed by St. Louis (11.5/17), Charlotte (10.3/15), Boston (10.1/16), Minneapolis (10.0/16), New York (9.8/15) and Milwaukee (9.7/15).
