Rtg (H-holds) Ntwk Race [2009 rtg]

0.4 (411,000) VS Sao Paulo [n/a]
0.6 (???,???) ABC St. Pete rainout show [VS 0.3]
0.4 (310,000) VS Barber [n/a]
0.5 (490,000) VS Long Beach [VS 0.5]
0.7 (???,???) ABC Kansas [VS .15]
3.6 (???,???) ABC Indy 500 [ABC 4.0]
0.3 (518,000) VS Texas [VS .36]

Just so Im clear.....this years texas rating was the lowest rated Versus race this season.... not to mention that it was lower than long beach last year as well as lower than than the texas race last year...

yet it was the most watched race ever on Versus...

color me a little skeptical

You're mixing up viewers and households. The ratings are calculated on the household number. What they are publishing is the amount of viewers. You can have more than one viewer per household. So it could well be that the Texas rating is not the highest rating but still had the most viewers.

I understand.......

this isnt rocket science.......or Indy Qualifying..



like I said........lowest rated so far year this year, not to mention lower than LB as well as texas last year.... yet more viewers?...

well the same logic about more than one viewer applies to those broadcasts as well.....

color me skeptical...........you? believe what you want

[Lousada]

So in summary it should look a little like this:
VS Sao Paulo - 411 (n/a)
ABC St. Pete - n/a (233)
VS Barber - 310 (n/a)
VS Long Beach - 490 (478)
ABC Kansas - 0.7 (222)
ABC Indy - 3.6 (4.0)
(Milwaukee - n/a (0.6))
VS Texas - 518 (467)

Were do you get that? Long Beach last year could never ever be a .5 with 478.000 viewers. Nor could St.Pete be a .3 with 233.000 viewers. Where did you get these rating numbers from? I trust the Sports Business Journal enough that the numbers in this article are correct.

Official ICS 2009 TV ratings thread
I thought I would try to keep track of the ratings for the broadcasts this year. If you see the official rating after a race, please post it in this thread and I will update this first post. Without further ado:

Rtg (H-holds) Ntwk Race

0.3 (233,000) VS St. Pete
0.5 (388,864) VS Long Beach
.15 (171,000) VS Kansas
4.0 (???,???) ABC Indy 500
0.7 (852,000) ABC Milwaukee
.36 (467,000) VS Texas
0.8 (???,???) ABC Iowa
.22 (248,000) VS Richmond
.87 (???,???) ABC Watkins Glen
1.0 (770,000) ABC Toronto
.24 (279,000) VS Edmonton
.14 (165,000) VS Kentucky
0.2 (233,000) VS Mid-Ohio
.25 (281,000) VS Sonoma
.24 (271,000) VS Chicagoland
.14 (165,000) VS Motegi
.15 (171,000) VS Homestead-Miami

.24 = avg rating on Versus (12 races)
1.5 = avg rating on ABC with Indy (5 races)
0.8 = avg rating on ABC without Indy (4 races)

Season recap by SportsBusiness Journal:


^there was a fairly extensive thread at another forum....hotly debated last season season

in the end the these were the accepted #'s...
