MLB Opening Day Earns Strong Numbers in Several Markets
Posted by Paulsen | 04/02/2013 at 4:27 pm
None of the above teams was able to match the local drawing power of the Cincinnati Reds. The extra-innings Reds/Angels game, the first ever interleague Opening Day match-up, earned a whopping 23.5 rating on Fox Sports Ohio and and CBS affiliate WKRC in Cincinnati — the highest ever for a Reds season opener.

Great news.. more encouragement that the fans will support a winning franchise.
Thank you Cast!
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

a 23.5 local rating is really really good.

City folks just don't get it.

The cheesy sponsors are half the fun. Loving the personal injury ad where the lawyer gives out his "personal" cell phone number with the terrible drawing of a cartoon bulldog mauling the Scales of Justice

Or bring back some Bronson Arroyo / Chris Welsh duet advertising.

I wonder what the number was for Fox Sports in other markets. I know several who were watching the Reds in the Louisville market. It would not surprise me if they had a 2 or 2.5 in Louisville, which by-the-way, is an awesome number!
What if this is as good as it gets?
I wonder if I was counted in the DC market.

I know I was watching in the coveted North Side of Lesner Bridge on Shore Drive in Virginia Beach market. Represent!I wonder if I was counted in the DC market.

I don't know a ton about what constitutes a good rating and what doesn't, and even I did a double take when I saw that number.
Fantastic!

Locally the Reds outperformed the Super Bowl. That is what you need to know.

Is that true?
No. I exaggerated a bit. The last 10 Superbowls all pulled between a 40.4 and a 46.
Is that true?

But also in comparison the highest rated show last week got a 4.8

Where 1 out of every 20 people (who watch TV) watch The Voice, 1 in 4 Cincinnatians (who watch TV) watched Opening Day. Pretty impressive.
What if this is as good as it gets?
Also, I'd bet there were just as many people at the various bars/restaurants at the Banks as there were inside GABP itself- it was a mob scene, and that's great for Cincinnati and local business.
sorry we're boring
