Booche Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 (from Ben Maller) Barney Fife more popular than NHL All-Star Game? The NHL's All-Star Game on Versus on Wednesday attracted 474,000 households. That's down 76% from ABC's rating in 2004, the last time the game was played, and down an amazing 82% from ABC's coverage in 2000, according to the USA TODAY. The NHL faced tough counterprogramming. And not just from Fox's American Idol. Other Wednesday prime-time shows outdrawing the NHL stars included HGTV's Design on a Dime, Discovery's Myth Busters, Bravo's Top Chef, the Food Network's Ace of Cakes and — attracting 85% more households than hockey's stars — TV Land's Andy Griffith Show.

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 i (partially) blame the fact that it was on a weeknight- that's gotta account for some dip in the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 anyone know why it was on a weeknight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I thought the game was a waste of time. Much like the ProBowl. The only ALLSTAR game that can actually be somewhat interesting, and resemble the level of play that the players are used to, is baseball. If I wanted to watch a game of shinny, i'd go to the local rink. The skills competitions are fun mind you. I just got offered a pair of tix behind the bench for the AHL game tonight. Bummer, as I'd love to take my son, but my dad is in town and we have to do the 'family' thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Consider your "family thing" a blessing. Taking a kid to an All-Star Game is child abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) LOL ... good point. He's only 4 though, and just wants to see the players up close. Well, i'm sure he'll enjoy the buffet at the Mandarin instead Mind you, that could be considered child abuse too Edited January 29, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, although the 3-point competition has had its moments over the years. The dunking competition is boring as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Anybody know what the ratings were on CBC?CBC got about 1.2 million watching the game on Wednesday.Over on CTV, American Idol and CSI:NY each got TWICE that number of viewers. CTV news got 1.2 million. If you'd like, I can send you an excel file with the ratings broken down for each show and on each station . Later . . .
