Wow, I really forgot how much of a dud LA/NJ was for NBC, especially considering ANA/NJ did very well for ABC in 2003...though it did have the ESPN hype machine behind it.

Following are the Top 10 markets for last night’s Game 5:

Rank Market RTG
1 Los Angeles 12.4
2 New York 10.4
3 Buffalo 9.2
4 Boston 6.3
4 Minneapolis-St. Paul 6.3
6 Pittsburgh 5.5
7 Chicago 5.4
7 Providence 5.4
9 West Palm Beach 5.2
9 Las Vegas 5.2

NATIONAL

Last night’s Game 5 (8:13 p.m. – 12:45 a.m. ET) delivered a 3.7 HH rating and 6.0 million viewers, making it the most-watched Stanley Cup Final Game 5 since the triple-overtime fifth game of the 2008 Stanley Cup Final between Pittsburgh and Detroit (6.2 million, NBC).

Viewership was up seven percent vs. Game 5 on NBC last year between Chicago and Boston (5.6 million). It was also up a remarkable 82% compared to the fifth game of the 2012 Stanley Cup Final, which also featured the Kings (vs. Devils) and was a potential Cup-clinching game (3.3 million).

The game peaked at over 8.5 million viewers from 12-12:30 a.m. ET.

LOCAL

Los Angeles delivered a 12.4 rating, ranking as the market’s second-best NHL rating ever on NBC or NBCSN and up 41% vs. Game 5 of the 2012 Stanley Cup Final (8.8), which was a potential Cup-clinching game. Last night’s game trailed only the Cup-clinching Game 6 of the 2012 Stanley Cup Final (13.6) as the most-watched in the L.A. market’s history for an NHL game on NBC or NBCSN.

New York also scored its second-best NHL rating ever on NBC or NBCSN with a 10.4 rating. It only trailed another double-overtime game, Game 2 of this series, by a tenth of a rating point (10.5).

Looks like Detroit tuned out the NHL Playoffs after the Wings were eliminated in the First Round, which is not a good sign for the league.:shakehead

What makes it such a bad sign? It's not that big of a market in the grand scheme of things. It's far less important than Boston, Chicago, Philly...

I lived in the city for over a decade, and now live in the suburbs.

I remember back around 2000-2003 it was easy as pie to walk up to the box office at MSG and get tickets for face value. Large swaths of empty seats. No one in New York was talking about the Rangers. Not on the radio and not in the papers.

The Rangers need to win to be relevant in the city, to even be talked about in the media at all. And even then when they're in the playoffs, they fall behind the Yankees/Mets scores, and whatever the Jets and Giants are doing in the offseason.

So what's your point?
The mainstream NY media doesn't cover the Rangers much unless they are a contender?
Pretty much the same thing in every big market.
Also, pre lockout the NHL got the back page a lot more, hopefully this Rangers run can help out.

In any event, the Rangers don't need much local media coverage because their fanbase is huge. That was my point.
NY is a great hockeytown, period.
They have other things going on unlike Buffalo...oh and the Rangers drew outstanding during the dark years from 1997-2004.
See the attendance database.
Buffalo was drawing 13,000 then.

Rangers are definitely not "huge" in New York. The ratings prove that.

For somebody ignorant or who hates New York.
In reality, no.
The Rangers are huge.
The lockout caused a drop in mainstream coverage which the finals runs has helped but in any event.
The Rangers have the most loyal base in New York and are always relevant, when a contender, the whole city including non-hockey fans pull behind them.

Anybody have links to the NBA finals ratings for local markets?
Would like to compare NHL to NBA ratings in NHL markets.

NBC regularly loses a decent portion of the Detroit market to CBC, so that's really no surprise.

Detroit still watches... They just watch a higher quality broadcast.

I didn't realise there was much of a difference. How does Philly jump Dallas, Houston, D.C. and San Francisco from radio to TV?
Click to expand...

Outer markets. For instance Trenton , NJ is its own radio market. For TV purposes, it's in the Philly market. Same goes for Outer markets like Ann Arbor, Akron, Hagerstown, York, Lancaster, etc. All these cities are rated separately for radio even though they infringe on larger media markets. They don't have enough of their own TV stations to justify being their own market but they do have significant radio holdings separate from the larger nearby market.

I once heard Mike Lupica from the New York Daily News say "Nobody in New York cares about the Rangers except those who go to the Garden" and that was in the 1990's.

Seems like a good way to wrap up the discussion for the 2013-14 season.

Thread size limit reached -- just in time. :)
