How well did the Bucks fare this year when it comes to television viewers? Not that well, if you exclude China.
Curious how the Bucks fared on television this year? If you rule out China, not that well.
The Milwaukee Bucks’ dismal 26-56 season translated to unremarkable local TV ratings for their games.FSN Wisconsin’s 70 Bucks telecasts averaged a 2.0 rating, an estimated 17,820 households.
The highest-rated game of the season came Saturday, Nov. 3, the Bucks’ third game, at home against Chicago. It had a 4.3 rating, or 38,313 households.
The season before, Bucks telecasts had a lower rating, 1.3, but because of a problem with Nielsen Media Research, that rating could have been under-reported by as much as 40%. Under-reporting by Nielsen was a problem in this market from April 2005 until April 17, 2007.
The last season a clean rating is available is the 2003-’04 season, when 35 Bucks games on WCGV-TV (Channel 24) averaged a 3.9 rating and the 40 games on FSN averaged 2.2.
Fans sitting at home clearly weren’t all that interested in the Bucks last year. It’ll be interesting once the Brewers final numbers are available this year to compare the two.
