Got a source for the local ratings? We haven’t seen any all playoffs so just curious how you magically have access to them.Disney is content with the NHL numbers because they are paying far less for the rights as compared to the NBA.
Local ratings on ABC Channel 10 in Miami WPLG are soft - a little stronger on ABC 25 WPBF in West Palm Beach.

Ok cool. So what exactly were the numbers?
If it's gm7 and it's 3-3 with 4 min to go in the 3rd and the chances are back and forth for both teams, this game gets 8M, or very close to it, like 7.59M.

Want to place a wager on that?Hey Jets4life, i'm not as dumb as i look.. Even the Sports Media Watch guy predicted this on twitter a few mins ago.
why would u wanna bet against the sports media watch guy?? this guy is usually spot on with every sports rating. That's his job for so many yrs.Want to place a wager on that?
Calm down. I never planned on betting any money.why would u wanna bet against the sports media watch guy?? this guy is usually spot on with every sports rating. That's his job for so many yrs.
I would bet u, but we dont know each other and live 2,000 miles apart. U and i are just a name here. I can't be so sure u'd wire me 300$ who u have no idea who ur sending it to and u'll never see ur whole life.
I'll guess that it gets 6.7 million.21st Century SCF Game 7 avg viewership in the U.S.:
2019 STL-BOS: 8.723M (NBC) *excluding unofficial streaming
2011 BOS-VAN: 8.540M (NBC)
2009 PIT-DET: 7.992M (NBC)
2006 EDM-CAR: 5.290M (NBC)
2004 CGY-TBL: 6.290M (ABC)
2003 ANA-NJD: 7.169M (ABC)
2001 NJD-COL: 6.95M (ABC)
Based on history:
The jumps from Game 6 to Game 7 those years were between 1.9M-3.4M. With a majority (4 of 7) between 2.0M-2.4M and those four average out to a 2.2M jump from Game 6.
So with this years Game 6 being 4.2M (fast national, so final # could be 4.3M) I'd predict 6.4M-6.5M for Game 7 Monday (I lean towards 6.4M)
With range being between 6.2M-7.2M and I'd set an o/u at 6.5M (I'm taking just under.)
Hmmm...it's so frustrating, but it seems some or many fans and radio sports talk hosts in America are somewhat or even fully focused on all these ongoing soccer games. At least some of the time, on certain shoes.I think game 7 will be a test of the ESPN social media hype machine to see if ABC/ESPN can get a record breaking number out of this game. Realistically a game between a Canadian team and a Florida based team, while still producing a really solid number, should not break a viewership record. However, part of why people were excited when they heard ESPN got the A package was because of how mainstream ESPN and their hype machine is, so I think this game is a really solid test of how they do marketing the game. Best player in the game attempting one of the greatest all time sports comebacks writes itself. Lets hope they deliver and we don't get a number lower than Oilers-Hurricanes in 2006
So.. No you dont.

There’s no way they were beating the nba finals regardless of teams .Maybe that 4.2M is not so bad. I know on avg NBA is always 4x more than NHL. Deciding NBA game DAL/BOS only got about 10M. that's just over 2x more than gm6, and it still wasn't deciding game.. and NBA had 2 of the top 5 US markets playing too. And lets be honest here, in gm6 when it was EDM 3-0, we all knew NO WAY fla is coming back. so maybe ppl turned the channel in the 3rd period.
So if we can get 4.2M for a gm6 with a CDN market vs a horrible weak US market, i think it's not bad. Maybe we can get 7M-8M, who knows? It's freakin gm7 now, not gm6. The 0-3 deficit can be officially erased Mon night.
But can u guys imagine if instead of these 2 teams, NYR were down 3-0 to CHI in the SCF and now it's 3-3??? OMG, 10M-12M easily. All of NY would be tuned in. even NYI and NJ fans cheering for CHI.. And every household in CHI would be tuned in. And all the NYR and CHI fans across the country, and all the NYR and CHI haters across the country.. it would've been EPIC.
Too bad we wasted this great series on 2 meaningless teams
Joey, are u telling me chi up 3-0 over NYR... NYR win the next 3 and are now 3-3 heading into gm7 to make history that they are not getting 10M+???? they already got close to 9M for CHI/BOS a few yrs ago and it was only gm6..There’s no way they were beating the nba finals regardless of teams .
The game was on Friday night. Weekend games do not draw as well as weekday games. Too many people enjoying the beginning of summer, and other things.4.2M is embarassing as hell. I expected at least 5.7M. Game wasn't even a blowout. Friday night and nothing really good to watch on TV. People home from work after a long week. No other sports playing at all. Almost every MLB game was over, or a blowout. The barn in EDM was loud and EDM about to tie the series at 3-3 after being down 0-3. No team has ever came back to win after being down 0-3 since 1942... It was a possible deciding game. It was on ABC, and McDavid just came off an incredible game and going for the Gretzky record, and no competition at all.. and it only gets 4.2M???
