The 500 still gets a LOT of viewers, as I said in another thread, around 20x the number of regular series viewers. And it wasnt down all that much from last year's race. The real question is when will this trend stop, and if VS is perhaps has sped up the loss of viewers, or is instead growing a more solid base with better programming (don't laugh, that's what they've done with NHL). I don't think we have an answer yet. But as we've said before, 2010 will be a critical season for sponsorship and tv ratings.
Just looking at the average rating (without Indy) vs Indy (only) on the first page, it looks like it's about a 10 to 1 ratio of Indy-> average race. Just glancing at some old numbers from the 90's, that's a pretty stable ratio.
Someone wrote a piece a few years ago comparing the Indy 500 to the Kentucky Derby. The Derby's numbers were also looking weak a few years ago, and that "brand" was successfully rebuilt. How they did that, I don't know. But it can be done.
Also, does anyone actually have the final metered/household number for Homestead? I have not seen it ANYWHERE outside of a potentially wrong number that quoted an IRL sunday race (homestead obv was saturday)."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

Hey Ken, do you ever see the Joyce Julius sponsor exposure value numbers anymore? They used to be posted around different boards. But in the past 3 or 4 years, I can't recall seeing them.
Forbes does reports for NASCAR and includes that data. And of course, there are various financial reports for F1 every year. I even saw it for the NHRA when they had a buyout on the table. But nothing for AOWR lately. Anything on your end?"Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

Sports Business Journal recapped the IRL '09 ratings. ABC viewership down 3%, overall viewership down 28%
http://sportsmediawatch.blogspot.com...p-down-28.html
IRL viewership down 28%
The IRL saw big declines in viewership during its first season on Versus.
ABC and Versus averaged 1.2 million viewers for coverage of the IRL during the 2009 season, down 28% from 1.6 million for last year's races on ABC, ESPN and ESPN2.
In particular, Versus averaged a mere 315,000 viewers for its 12 races, down 60% from 778,000 for 11 races on ESPN/ESPN2 last year. To put that in perspective, the least viewed IRL telecast last season drew 377,000 viewers.
Compared to other sports, the IRL on Versus finished behind the 2008-09 NHL regular season on Versus (330,000) and the Tour de France on Versus (530,000), but topped regular season WNBA games on ESPN2 (269,000) and regular season MLS telecasts on ESPN2 (292,000, through 20 telecasts).
On ABC, five IRL telecasts averaged 2.6 million viewers, off 3% from 2.7 million for seven races last year. That average includes the Indianapolis 500, which drew 6.3 million viewers.
