You have a source? I believe you, just have to be careful of the mods around here. I’ve been given warnings before when I didn’t link the source.

You've linked a source one time in your 14 years here

Whenever they don't include HHs or actual #'s or any relevant data it doesn't really tell much. Long history of low viewership markets being up over 100% for a period of time. Panthers have been before, Yotes would always hype things like this up every few years when they had a spike during any multi-week stretch, but in reality the #'s were going from something like 3k HHs to 8k HHs for a handful of games. From pitiful to still pretty bad.

Doesn't mean that's the case here, but we don't know what up 170% means, other than it's up (that's good.) And also, to be up that much suggests a low starting point to be up from.

This is, after all, still a market that had their local affiliate show game shows instead of NHL on ABC national broadcasts as recently as last season.

Regardless, defending cup champs, it SHOULD be up and being up no matter how they got there, is a good thing. Just without any actual data, it doesn't mean much, especially being self-reported. An honest release would show what they're up from, at a minimum.
