Overnight ratings fall 8.9 percent

Monday, April 24, 2006

 

Fox's broadcast of Saturday night's Subway Fresh 500 NASCAR Nextel Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway earned a 4.1 overnight rating from Nielsen Media Research and a 7 market share, Street and Smith's SportsBusiness Daily reports.

The rating is 8.9 percent lower than the 4.5/8 Fox earned overnight in 2005, but the race still recorded the highest figures of any weekend sports event. ABC's broadcast of Sunday's NBA playoff game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns was second with a 4.0 overnight rating.

Average Rating: 0.0
