Ran across this today and remembered a post that twantyme made after the Finals last year talking about how Commissioner Stern ruined the league.

FSN NBA Ratings on the Up and Up


John Consoli

DECEMBER 04, 2007 -

NBA ratings are soaring through the first month of the season on Fox Sports Network's regional telecasts, with household ratings up 12 percent overall, but with some teams' TV ratings up as much as 146 percent, according to Nielsen Media Research data.

FSN has telecast rights to 17 of the NBA’s 29 teams, and 10 of those markets have experienced double-digit household ratings increases. The largest increase, albeit off a lower base, was FSN Wisconsin, which televises the Milwaukee Bucks games—up 146 percent to a 3.0. FSN Southwest, which televises the San Antonio Spurs games, is up 90 percent to a 7.1 rating. FSN Arizona, which televises the Phoenix Suns games, is up 82 percent to a 4.6.

Other double-digit ratings increases include: FSN Midwest, which televises the Indianapolis Pacers games, up 43 percent to a 2.3; FSN Southwest, which televises the Houston Rockets, up 31 percent to a 3.1; Sun Sports (Orlando Magic), up 23 percent to a 2.4; FSN West (Los Angeles Lakers), up 15 percent to a 3.7; and FSN Detroit (Detroit Pistons), up 10 percent to a 3.3.

I haven't seen one basketball game this season. Unless you count the times I've watched streams on my computer

They must be talking about overseas

Good for them, I haven't watched a full NBA game in 2 maybe 3 seasons, it just got boring to me...
