Red Wings rating romp
Sorry about the headline. I'm into alliteration this week.
Sunday's Game 5 set the FSN all-time mark for viewership. The press release ...
Detroit-Anaheim Game Achieves 17.1 Household Rating / 35 Share in Metro Detroit
FOX Sports Detroit attracted an all-time record audience for Sunday’s Game 5 of the NHL Western Conference Semifinal series between the Detroit Red Wings and Anaheim Ducks.
Based on data received from Nielsen Media Research, the 5:00-7:45 PM telecast registered a 17.1 household rating / 35 share in the Detroit metro area, an average of nearly 330,000 homes (one rating point equals approximately 19,270 households). The telecast peaked at a 22.1 rating (nearly 426,000 homes) during the closing minutes of the Red Wings 4-1 victory, giving them a three games to two lead in the best-of-seven series.
Sunday’s viewership eclipsed the previous FOX Sports Detroit record rating of 14.1 on May 3, 2004 for Game 6 of the Red Wings second round playoff series against Calgary.
FOX Sports Detroit is averaging a 11.8 HH rating for six Red Wings games this postseason, 30% greater than the 9.1 rating for five playoff telecasts in 2008.
The Red Wings rating capped a weekend during which FOX Sports Detroit averaged a healthy 6.8 HH rating for the Detroit Tigers three-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians, including an 8.1 mark on Saturday night.
FOX Sports Detroit is scheduled to carry the remaining games in the Red Wings-Ducks series, including Game 6 Tuesday at 10:00 PM Eastern. Game 7, if necessary, is Thursday (time TBD).

That is a HUGE difference from the previous top - 3 rating points more.
Does the game not being on Vs or NBC have a lot to do with this? Game 5 against Anaheim had to be the most un-widely broadcast game in at least a decade.
And Pittsburgh says that they had the highest ratings ever for a regional sports network at 277,800...
