Audience Analysis: NASCAR's Clash Sees Gain; Preds' RSN Up

NASCAR’s Advance Auto Parts Clash at Daytona last Sunday afternoon averaged 2.3 million viewers on FS1, up from 1.9 million last year, when the event was rained out on a Saturday night and moved to late Sunday morning. Two years ago, 4.84 million viewers watched the Clash when it ran in its traditional Saturday primetime slot.

NOTES: ESPN drew 603,000 viewers for a special three-hour NBA trade deadline edition of “The Jump” on Feb. 7, marking the show’s best audience on record. That figure also is up 31% from the two-hour special last year….FS Tennessee is averaging a 1.9 local rating in Nashville for Predators games to date, up 142% on the heels of the team’s run to the Stanley Cup Final last year.
