TV ratings for sports other than hockey

[Melrose Munch]

world series ratings were great. baseball shouldn't get a salary cap at all.

Ratings: NBA, NHL, racing, El Clasico

NBA viewership continues to trend behind last season; the NHL had another, albeit slight, drop on Tuesday; plus racing and soccer.

The first Real Madrid-Barcelona matchup of the La Liga season scored 709,000 viewers on ESPN Deportes, the most watched La Liga match on an ESPN platform and up 77% from last year. The 18-49 demo was up 131%. No raw numbers were disclosed, but ESPN reports engagement on ESPN+ was up 24% over last year.

In other soccer news, the US Women’s National Team friendly against Argentina averaged 228,000 viewers on TNT on Wednesday, 287,000 against Iceland on Sunday, and 331,000 against Iceland last Thursday.

To be fair, those are two of the top 3 MLB franchises in the entire league. I think the only other club that could've gotten better ratings were Cubs vs Dodgers/Yankees depending on the conferences. NHL would have massive ratings if the finals were ever Blackhawks vs Rangers.

About 16 minutes of play in one (specific) 60 minute game.

Interesting break down.
