Still Solid Rating Considering late start and Canadian team

 

[Coinneach]

Another strong Sunday's viewership.

Star Sunday >> Wednesday Night Hockey

 

[46zone]

Sunday night games seem to have better matchups than Wednesday thus far.

NBC SPORTS “PUSH FOR THE PLAYOFS” adds two games to NBCSN schedule:

Avalanche/Blues on Monday, April 1

Bruins/Blue Jackets on Tuesday, April 2 (will be blacked out in the Boston market)

NBC SPORTS’ “PUSH FOR THE PLAYOFFS” FEATURES OVECHKIN AND CAPITALS THREE TIMES THIS WEEK, INCLUDING WEDNESDAY NIGHT HOCKEY CLASH VS. LEAGUE-LEADING LIGHTNING

It would appear that based off of our ratings tracked here, that NHL games on NBC are averaging a streaming average of 53k. NHL games on NBCSN are averaging 7k or 16k. It's a little hard to tell on the exact NBCSN number because we had those 4 games without a viewing number released I'm not sure if that's been accounted in press release. But without that we have the NBCSN average at 305k. 312k would put the streaming average for NBCSN at 7k but it could be higher if those games have been calculated. Those NBC streaming numbers are pretty decent, wished we could get the ESPN+ streaming numbers.

This shows you how low the “bar” is in Raleigh. Last night’s WSH-CAR game was the highest rated NBCSN Canes game in Raleigh in over a decade. With a 1.4 rating (15,521 TV households).

Yeah that's embarrassing. No other way to say it.

Yeah that's embarrassing. No other way to say it.

The Canes look like they are righting the ship in that market it just takes time. They stunk for a good period of time if they can stay solid for a cpl more seasons MAYBE they can rally more support.
