Was it also the first time a game was broadcast on ABC (instead of ESPN)? That helped

I want a list of the top 10 most watched CWS games ever. Do any not include LSU?

This sport is just getting out of infancy and will only grow- WBB LSU NC over Iowa got 12.3 million viewers, baseball will get there.

Eh
quote:
Sunday’s Game 2 averaged 2.78 million viewers across ABC and ESPNU, down five percent from Tennessee-Texas A&M Game 2 last year (2.92M) but still the sixth-largest audience for an MCWS game on the ESPN networks.
Facing breaking news coverage, Saturday’s Game 1 averaged 2.18 million on ESPN and ESPNU — down 4% from last year’s opener (2.26M).
But this is also true
quote:
This year’s MCWS Final ranks as the fourth-most watched in the best-of-three era. LSU has played in three of the top four, with the Tigers’ 2023 win over Florida (2.86M) and 2009 win over Texas (2.76M) ranking first and third respectively. (Last year’s series, which ranks second, is the lone exception.)
I also found this pretty surprising
quote:
The MCWS averaged fewer viewers than the Women’s College World Series earlier this month (1.3M), though the two-game MCWS Final outdrew the three-game WCWS Final (2.2M).

That is pretty surprising, but I guess the softball world series is pretty much the biggest event in softball with there being no real major league softball. A lot of girls who play softball watch it. Men have major league baseball outside of college.

There is an alabama poster in the fetal position in her shower crying.
She's breathing heavy and telling the tile floor:
"No one cares about LSU!
No one cares about baseball!
How can this beeeeeee?"
But no one does care........about her opinion.

Surprised that baseball viewership not higher. Baseball substantially less viewership than LSU WBB nat'l championship, which had over 9 million with peak over 12 million. LSU vs Iowa elite 8 over 12 million, with peak over 14 million. SC WBB vs Uconn nat'l championship over 18 million. Why is baseball viewership so low? There are some LSU people on this board who usually say "nobody cares about WBB."

Some of you just do not understand just how much more popular nationwide WBB is as compared to college baseball. And I speak as a season ticket holder to BOTH LSUWBB and baseball.

CBS used to carry the Championship game in the old format.

Connecticut made WBB next level- when you have the northeast you have millions of viewer's. If UCONN, ST John's, Syracuse etc got great in baseball it would help.
Men's college world series will grow, it just may take more time given most of best team are not in major TV markets and/or have too much competition for other sports. For example no college team sells out in Los Angeles are consistently- too many other things to do there.
