FOX is having a nice run with sports. First, huge ratings for the Vikings - Packers NFL contest, then game four of the World Series pulled some nice numbers. Here are some blurbs from FOX (these numbers are still preliminary, but are time-zone adjusted and won't likely change much):
- Last night’s game ran from 8:19pm – 11:48pm ET and posted 22.8 million Total Viewers, up +47% from last year’s Game 4 (versus 15.5 million total viewers on 10/26/08),
- The game was the most-watched non-decisive Game 4 in 8 years (versus 10/31/01).
- Was the most-watched World Series game since Game 4 of 2004 (versus 28.8 million total viewers on 10/27/04).
I'm sure there will be a more detailed release, including local market information this afternoon. We'll post it when we see it.
Any second now a Fox executive will Tonya Harding Jeter and A-Rod to make sure the Phillies win at least one more game.
No need for that, Samantha. Just make sure Cliff Lee reaches the mound safely and the Phillies will win tonight.
