nba finals tv ratings will kill Stanley Cup finals ratings once again

[homie1975]

I love the Lord Stanley finals. Don't get me wrong. The storyline s in the nba finals are just better. Duncan and pop going for 5 manu and Tony for 4. Lebron 3. Wade 4. Rematch of one of best finals in history. Etc etc.

World Cup Final will kill both NBA and NHL finals by 100 times.

[jjgold]

Not many people watch hockey
It's semi cult sport in USA

I would think more people will watch Heat in Ny more than Rangers .. Nba much more popular

[LT Profits]

Not exactly going out on a limb there. And if doesn't really matter what the matchups are, NBA will always get the higher ratings. And I personally prefer watching NHL Finals myself.

[LT Profits]

I think even in LA. Their NHL ratings have been terrible even during Cup Finals vs. Devils two years ago.

Not in the USA, NBA would win by a landslide. And even NHL may get more ratings than World Cup in USA.

Obvious reason why though. That was actually one of JJ's more accurate posts, take away Rangers and NHL would have gotten lower ratings in New York than ABC comedies.

could be second biggest market last night was buffalo

[King Mayan]

It's easy for the dumbfukks to follow a big orange ball, 2000 commercials and a 1000 free throws... Don't have to think too much...

[LT Profits]

If that 10.1 was statewide, then yeah.

[Vegas39]

No it wasn't buffalo was a 7.5 I believe

Ummm every hispanic I know will be watching the World Cup... And we're everywhere hommes...

A landslide

NBA will rate between 9-12 unless the series goes 6-7. WC games got a 2.1 in 2010.

[Vegas39]

Still they hey won't draw much more over a 3 rating

I don't know where you get ratings from but the 2010 WC Final which was played at 2:00 in the afternoon had 24.3 million viewers in the US.

Stanley Cup Finals average 5 to 8 million viewers.

Last year's NBA finals averaged 17.7 million viewers.

So even in the US the WC Final has more viewers.

How much did the first round of the NHL playoffs draw? Compare apples with apples.

roughly the same

Bottom line is no hockey just does not get a ton of ratings

Rarely tv deals
Rarely endorsements
No stars

[Seaweed]

Bottom line is curling ratings in USA are lower than NHL

[bigtymer56]

Y do u guys care who watches what?

Gonna enjoy both.

[k13]

Not in Canada. Most likely not in Buffalo, Pitt, etc.

NBA ratings are down compared to the past.
Mostly catered to minorities, punk kids and white sellouts.

Those are the tv viewers because they'll never afford tickets in person.

Elaborate?

[TheMoneyShot]

This is a no brainer. NHL is last place in the top 4 sports.

[packerd_00]

Thats the way itll always be. Hockey is Canadas Sport in terms of popularity

[homie1975]

i saw PACO in another thread say: NHL > NBA

well, the TV ratings say otherwise. hence my thread.

anyhow, i love both playoffs so for me it's all good

[Darkside Magick]

Nhl happy to get a 3.0 rating ..Nba looking for 12.0
