Final Nielsen Ratings From Recent Sports Telecasts
Published July 6, 2012
The chart below lists final Nielsen ratings from recent sports telecasts. All ratings listed are U.S. ratings (THE DAILY).
NO STAR POWER: In Houston, David Barron wrote FS Houston drew a 0.3 rating for last Friday's Astros-Cubs game, with Saturday drawing a 1.5 and a 0.9 on Sunday. There was a time when a "single Astros-Cubs game would rate 4.7, but that was when the Astros were a competent team and when Fox Sports Houston ...was still promoting the product." The Astros are moving to Comcast SportsNet Houston in '13 (CHRON.com, 7/2).
