2012 average RSN (cable/SAT telecast) ratings

[J.R.]

Not surprising at all that the Cubs lost a fifth of their CSN audience within the Chicago DMA.

 

Buoyed by a tight race in the AL Central, plus Miguel Cabrera’s run for baseball’s first Triple Crown since 1967, the Detroit Tigers are poised to win Major League Baseball’s local TV ratings crown this season.

 

With about 1 1/2 weeks left in the regular season, Tigers games on FS Detroit were on pace to be the highest in team history. Games have averaged a 9.13 rating so far this season, a massive 42 percent increase from last season. The 168,000 average homes that tune into Tigers games is the third-highest audience in MLB.

I have to think there's something wrong with numbers that showed SD with a 1.9 and 20,000 viewers.

 

Edit: although, if it,s a rating share instead of a rating, that would be 1 million people watching TV in the SD area

The ratings are proportional to DMA size. A 1.76 in Chicago represents a far bigger audience than a 1.9 in San Diego.
