1.3 rating while 3.8 million viewer
Is that a good number to have, it only seems like 1% of the US population?
The Iron Bowl last year got 11.43 million.
Ole Miss vs. Alabama had 3.59 million and we sucked.

Wait till they see the NFL ratings decline.

Some 2019 ratings (which were down from 2018)
quote:
Golden State’s win delivered the largest audience of the playoffs, topping the previous highs set by Game 1 of the series a week earlier (3.0, 4.83M).
Earlier Sunday, Celtics-Pacers Game 4 had a 2.4 and 3.84 million on ABC — down a tick in ratings but up 4% in viewership from last year (Celtics-Bucks: 2.5, 3.70M), and down 17% and 14% respectively from 2017 (Cavaliers-Pacers: 2.9, 4.48M).
Of the six playoff games to post an increase in ratings and/or viewership, four have aired on ABC (the other two aired on NBA TV). The rest of the weekend was a bust.
Blazers-Thunder Game 4 scored a 2.3 and 3.74 million on TNT Sunday night — playoff-highs on cable, but down 38% in ratings and viewership from last year (Cavaliers-Pacers: 3.7, 6.07M) and down a tick and 5% respectively from 2017 (Clippers-Jazz: 2.4, 3.96M).
Raptors-Magic had a 1.6 (-20%) and 2.69 million (-15%) earlier in the night.
On Saturday, ESPN drew a 1.95 and 3.19 million for Rockets-Jazz Game 3 — down 8% in ratings and 6% in viewership from last year (Thunder-Jazz: 2.1, 3.39M) and down 26% and 27% respectively from 2017 (Warriors-Blazers: 2.6, 4.38M).
Bucks-Pistons Game 3 preceded with a 1.5 (-12%) and 2.48 million (-12%).
In the afternoon, Nuggets-Spurs Game 4 scored a 1.8 (-8%) and 2.78 million (-7%) and Sixers-Nets a 1.4 (-13%) and 2.13 million (-12%) on TNT.
The rough times continued into the workweek. On TNT Monday night, Rockets-Jazz Game 4 scored 2.96 million viewers (-24%) and Bucks-Pistons Game 4 2.81 million (-20%

This will turn around like anything else. I don't know y'all thinking this is going to effect basketball or any other sport in the long term

Yes. There’s never been ebbs and flows of popularity in a sport affected by the player’s behavior or other market factors. You are very smart.

ABC slam-dunked over all other networks on Sunday night with the NBA playoff matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets. The game dominated the adults 18-49 demographic, delivering a 1.3 rating while 3.8 million viewers tuned in to watch the Lakers defeat the Rockets 117-109 to tie the second-round series at 1-1.
That wasn't a slam dunk. A rerun of America's Funniest Videos got almost 1 million more total viewers (and 60 Minutes got 2 million+ more total viewers). It seems the Lakers and/or Rockets are the only teams that can get any decent ratings.
Scoot may have gotten the numbers confused. Ratings from the 1st round were down 27% from last season (still really bad, obviously). And ratings are down 40% from two seasons ago. This is all according to Sports Illustrated. It was the Harris Poll that was taken recently that showed that 38% of respondents claimed to have not watched the NBA due to them getting too political (the biggest percentage in the poll as to reasons why people were not watching).
