ratings vs. Packers

[jeffy]

Has anyone seen what the ratings were last Sunday for Packers as compared to Brewers? I know it could not be close, just wondering how badly the Brewers got buried.

Per Bob Wolfley and the JS, the Packers beat the Brewers about 9-1.

Thanks, actually that is better than I expected...especially with the Brewers having had a big early lead in that game. Also since there are 10 times the number of baseball games in a season, the total audience would actually be about the same, if that ratio held over a whole season.

 

For me baseball comes first, Packer's will be my third choice after 1 pm. I'll watch the Brewers and flip to Cubs during commercials...

I think that might be just the Milwaukee area, but I'm not sure. If it is, I'd imagine the numbers would be much worse in other areas of the state.

That is just Milwaukee.

It would help a little if the Brewers and FSN could broadcast all their games in HD. I think it makes a difference.

Another minor factor is not quite every one even has FSN...I'd guess maybe 75-80%??? While the Packers are on a broadcast channel.

I watch both, witht he Packers on the left (in HD) and the Brewers on the right. I sure love having the ability to split screen on our television, as it allowed for a pretty good day and lots of cheering (some at the same time for both games) in my family room.
