Good news

 

[Colin226]

Curious if anyone has the numbers for Devils vs Red Wings on ESPN+ on October 11?

 

[Kirk Van Houten]

Haven't seen numbers from ESPN+ they usually don't release them

Local ratings by any chance? Curious to see Buffalo's numbers.

They don't come out as often as they used to. Last season we only got one mid-season league-wide report on regional viewership.

Best bet is twitter/X and someone local covering the team occasionally will put out #s. Though, again rare.

Great start for the ratings. I don't know how ratings can actually be going up with cable subscriptions dropping like flies.

 

[S E P H]

I guess putting the games on networks people know about actually makes a difference...

I’ll take numbers like that for the early slot all season. Really strong start so far

Agreed, especially with MLB playoffs in full swing.

The troll is celebrating 728k as great numbers now? A final against a regular season game? Hell, female college BB got better viewers than the WNBA Final lol.

Too late and a blown-out game. It should've been 6-0 by the 2nd period if it wasn't for Mrazek.

All the ratings news so far has been positive, so I was wondering what the angle was going to be from the usual crew of 1000 percent negativity.

The deciding game of the WNBA final lol. Was not expecting that

Season-opening Hockey Night in Canada delivers hip check to CFL television ratings - 3DownNation

The Canadian Football League had its television ratings chopped down like a solid hip check at the blue line. During Week 19, the Redblacks and Argonauts game went head-to-head with the first Hockey Night in Canada games for the 2023-2024 NHL season. That resulted in the game at BMO Field...
