Stanley Cup Finals bring record-low ratings for NBC
June 5, 2007
CBS SportsLine.com wire reportsNEW YORK — The Stanley Cup Finals have brought record-low ratings to NBC — and not just for sports.
Saturday night’s Game 3 equaled NBC’s lowest rating ever for a prime-time program. Ottawa’s 5-3 victory over Anaheim received a 1.1 national rating and a 2 share, the network said Tuesday. That matched a rerun of The West Wing on July 23, 2005, which also drew a 1.1 rating.
Saturday’s rating was down 31 percent from last year’s Game 3 between Edmonton and Carolina, which had a 1.6/3.
The national ratings for Monday night’s Game 4 declined less sharply from last year. The Ducks’ 3-2 victory received a 1.9/3, down five percent from the 2.0/3 for Game 4 in 2006.
The rating is the percentage watching a telecast among all homes with televisions, and the share is the percentage tuned in to a broadcast among those households with televisions on at the time. A ratings point represents 1,114,000 households.
