What’s kinda crazy to me about this, is more people tuned in to a game representing Memphis and Salt Lake City over two teams form NYC. Do they just not really care for sports up there?

The Suns’ win, which peaked with 6.04 million viewers, faced Phil Mickelson’s win in the PGA Championship (3.9, 6.58M). The comparable 2019 window faced lesser competition from an encore presentation of Tiger Woods’ win in that year’s Masters (3.0, 4.54M).


quote:

Ranking second for the weekend, ABC pulled a 2.1 and 3.82 million for Celtics-Nets on Saturday night — down 9% in ratings and 1% in viewership from the network’s first game in the “bubble” last postseason, Lakers-Blazers Game 3 (2.3, 3.86M). It also declined 30% and 21% respectively from the comparable 2019 window, Clippers-Warriors (3.0, 4.83M).


quote:

As for those cable openers, Hawks-Knicks led the way with a 1.7 and 3.00 million on TNT Sunday night — up 6% and 12% respectively from 2019 (Pistons-Bucks: 1.6, 2.66M).


quote:

Sunday’s Grizzlies-Jazz nightcap was not far behind at a 1.6 and 2.74 million, though those figures declined 16% and 10% respectively from 2019 (Jazz-Rockets: 1.9, 3.04M).


quote:

TNT opened its postseason slate with a 1.1 and 1.94 million for Wizards-Sixers, down a tick in ratings but up 8% in viewership from Pacers-Celtics in 2019, which faced Woods’ Masters win (Pacers-Celtics: 1.2, 1.81M).


quote:

On ESPN, Mavericks-Clippers drew a 1.5 and 2.64 million Saturday afternoon — flat in ratings and up 8% in viewership from 2019 (Magic-Raptors: 1.5, 2.44M)


quote:

Bookending ESPN’s Saturday slate, Blazers-Nuggets averaged a 1.3 and 2.30 million — up 18% and 26% respectively from 2019 (Spurs-Nuggets: 1.1, 1.83M)

It’ll be interesting to see how the NHL on ESPN and TNT affects ratings. It’s a fantastic product, but it’s just not as mainstream.

It’s almost hard not to know what’s going on in the NBA as much as ESPN promotes it.

And that would beat like 99% of all non NFL broadcasts. Let alone those on cable TV

No. These don’t account for local ratings.

Their commissioner is also terrible. He’s holding hockey back more than anything.
