    Edmonton .14

    I was told a few years a go that

    Tv ratings were off limits
    Give time
    Momentum
    Blah blah F'en blah

    Is it still too early to state that versus and now NBCwhachamacallit is a bad for Indycar?

    No it's not. These ratings are unacceptable.

    NBC Sports Net TV rating for Iowa was a 0.18 with 254,000 viewers. @Ourand_SBJ says Edmonton had 194,000 viewers.
    194/254 X .18=0.137480315

    Indy Car isn't the only sport with declining ratings. The NHL isn't doing that well either

    NHL Stanley Cup Finals TV Ratings - Ratings | TVbytheNumbers

    Auto racing is a niche sport, and other than NASCAR, isn't followed by the mainstream viewers. Sure, the numbers for Indy Car aren't great, but all sports are feeling the pressure of declining interest.
    I read it on the internet, so it must be true

    Indycar must be the only professional sport where more people visit the event than watch it on tv...

    I know I'm not in .14 group, but did watch the race with friends, therefore numbers are not accurate.
    Keep it fast, keep it real!!!

    I'd be interested to know what sort of figures the Sky coverage here in the UK gets and how it compares.
