Final weekend TV Ratings
Failing Everyone |
NASCAR Sprint Cup racing from Chicagoland earned a 1.41 final rating on NBCSN Sunday afternoon, down 14% from last year (1.64) and down 48% from 2014 on ESPN (2.7)…..more evidence NBCSN ratings are running NASCAR into the ground.
The grand finale for the IndyCar series from Sonoma wasn't so grand. Buried on NBCSN, which delivers bad TV ratings for everyone, they pulled a 0.33 rating with 528K tuned in. However, in the important 18-49 year old category, only 121K tuned in. Why the grand finale isn't at the Indy Speedway for 400 miles on ABC is beyond us. Instead of having a real grand finale, IndyCar prefers to end their season every year with a thud.
Buried on NBCSN at 7:30 am on a Sunday morning, which delivers bad TV ratings for everyone, F1 pulled a 0.28 TV Rating with 450K tuned in for the Singapore GP. However, in the important 18-49 year old category, only 118K tuned in.
