thewookie1 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 This why Bettman will give us McDavid. Well we certainly deserve him, we beat out 3 playoff teams and a near miss in NHL Markets while fielding a 30th place finish for the 2nd year in a row.

GoPre Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 @NBCSportsPR Top 5 rated NHL markets for reg season for combined NBC/NBCSN: Buffalo 1.17; Pittsburgh 1.15; Boston 1.00; St. Louis 0.95; & Chicago 0.90 Despite the Shart. Beyond awesome, but doesn't this focus on US markets? Can CBC broadcast games being played in St. Louis or any other American city? This would have an impact on Canadian markets. I'm sure Buffalo would still be in the top 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3putt Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 This why Bettman will give us McDavid.Why should he "give" us McDavid? What the numbers say is that we will watch regardless of whether the product is good or not. He would be better off putting him in a bigger market with worse ratings to improve the ad value of broadcasts. Assuming of course you believe he can fix anything.

This why Bettman will give us McDavid. Unless I read the ratings numbers wrong: What's bigger: 1.17% of the 1.1M (maybe 2 if you include Rochester) people the Buffalo market, or 1.00% of the 4.5M people in Boston Metro (and that doesn't include the rest of the people in New England). It's great that Buffalo loves hockey, but the NHL is interested in eyeballs, not market share. If you believe the conspiracy nonsense in the first place.

matter2003 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 We already knew Buffalo is the top US Hockey Market in the US....just wait for the playoffs Beyond awesome, but doesn't this focus on US markets? Can CBC broadcast games being played in St. Louis or any other American city? This would have an impact on Canadian markets. I'm sure Buffalo would still be in the top 5. No, and we will likely be the top market in the US other than the 2 teams playing for each series as well, and that isn't even including the people who choose to turn into the CBC feed, which I'm sure a lot of the do...

It's 1.17% of all NHL viewership in the USA comes from Buffalo, a market that is 1/6th the size of places like Boston and Chicago.

PromoTheRobot Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Can you post the link, please? Have to look. I saw it in a tweet. https://twitter.com/NBCSportsPR/status/588064202671140864 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratings_for_The_NHL_on_NBC In the third week of playoff coverage, on Saturday NBC's national coverage of the San Jose-Detroit game on Saturday had a 1.0 large-market rating, down 9.1 percent from coverage of a New Jersey-Carolina game a year ago. The Rangers-Sabres telecast on Sunday drew a viewers in 1.3 percent of homes in the 56 largest U.S. media markets. In Buffalo, the ratings story is much different, where more than half of the TV sets in Western New York were tuned to the Sabres-Rangers game, breaking records previously held by the Buffalo Bills.In the fourth week of coverage, Game 5 of the Sharks-Red Wings semifinal series received a 1.4 overnight on Saturday, up 40% over last year’s comparable game (Devils-Hurricanes). Game 6 between the Rangers and Sabres, leading into the Kentucky Derby, earned a 1.4 on Sunday. There was no comparable game last year. In Buffalo, the Sabres’ series clinching victory earned a 32.6 rating and 60 share. That means 60 percent of the sets in use in Buffalo were watching the game Edited April 15, 2015 by Promonov Robotnik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastPommerFan Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 You are reading the numbers wrong. It's 1.17% of all NHL viewership in the USA comes from Buffalo, a market that is 1/6th the size of places like Boston and Chicago. That would be a really weird deviation from traditional ratings reporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson's Flow Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 You are reading the numbers wrong. It's 1.17% of all NHL viewership in the USA comes from Buffalo, a market that is 1/6th the size of places like Boston and Chicago. I would assume that they would post these ratings in line with the standard ratings system, which is contrary to the way you explained above.
