Nets, Spurs not pulling in viewers Posted: Sunday June 08, 2003 6:53 PMNEW YORK (AP) -- ABC's ratings for the NBA Finals are down significantly from last year's, televised by NBC. Game 1 between the San Antonio Spurs and New Jersey Nets on Wednesday drew a 6.4 national rating with a 11 share. That's down 40 percent from last year's first game between the Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers, which produced a 10.6 national rating with a 20 share. Game 2 on Friday had an overnight rating of 7.3 with a 13 share, down 29 percent from the 10.3 overnight rating and 18 share for last year's Game 2. The rating is the percentage of all homes with televisions, whether or not they are in use. Overnight ratings measure the 55 largest TV markets in the United States, covering nearly 70 percent of the country. Each overnight rating point represents about 735,000 TV homes. The share is the percentage of televisions in use tuned to a program. |
