NOTES: Wednesday's edition of CSN Philadelphia's "Phillies Postgame Live," which aired after the team's NLCS-clinching Game Five victory over the Dodgers, earned a 3.3 local rating and 98,000 HHs, peaking at a 4.8 rating and 143,000 HHs at 12:15am ET. The rating beat out all broadcast stations in the Philadelphia market, which were also providing live Phillies coverage (CSN Philadelphia)....Dallas' WFAA-ABC earned a 17.7 local rating for its broadcast of last Saturday's Texas-Oklahoma game, which "translates into a smidge less than 450,000 homes" (DALLASNEWS.com, 10/19)....TSN's coverage of the September 20 CFL Eskimos-Roughriders game earned 1.1 million viewers, marking the most-viewed CFL telecast to date on the net this season. Rounding out the top five are the Eskimos-Stampeders on September 7 (1.085 million viewers), Roughriders-Lions on October 2 (1.041 million), Blue Bombers-Roughriders on September 6 (950,000) and Blue Bombers-Tiger-Cats on October 12 (949,000) (TSN).
