The year of sports on TV getting huge ratings continued last night with NBC's telecast of Sunday Night Football the highest rated regular season NFL telecast in 15 years, generating an overnight rating of 16.9 and a 27 share.
According to a Press Release from NBC Sports, last night’s ratings was up three percent from last year and up 26% from the 2009 Sunday Night Football opener. As expected, last night’s game put up huge numbers in Texas with Dallas leading the way with a 38.8 rating and 58 share, New York surprisingly generating a 19.7/30 overnight rating.
I think this is the trend we’ll see all year, man caves & 50” HDTV’s have made it easier to watch the games from home, not to mention the cost of attending an NFL game in a bad economy is keeping fans at home as well.
