TWINS ENJOY RECORD TV RATINGS
Courtesy
Minneapolis Star-Tribune
(July 11, 2008) The Twins enter the weekend with a record and television ratings that are similar to a year ago at this time.
The team -- which was 51-41 after Thursday's victory at Detroit and 49-43 through 92 games last July -- has had a 3 percent ratings growth on FSN North (7.0 compared with 6.8). Its ratings on WFTC (Ch. 29), which carried the season opener and mainly a package of Sunday games, have remained flat at 8.5. Curiously, the highest single-game ratings for FSN North and WFTC this season have been for games played at the Metrodome, when some potential viewers are at the stadium. FSN's best rating was an 11.5 for the Twins' 5-4 loss to Detroit on June 30. That puts it among the top-five highest-rated programs on the network since it began tracking figures in 1997. WFTC's best rating was the 14.7 it had for the Twins' 3-2 victory over Los Angeles on March 31 in the home opener. WFTC's best Sunday rating was a 10.3 for the Twins' 5-3 victory over Arizona on June 22. FSN also has seen increases for its Twins pre- and postgame shows, with the pregame up 16 percent (1.2 vs. 1.0) and the postgame up 26 percent (2.5 vs. 2.0). |
