Finals: Top 10 Assists

The NBA Basketball Finals win the ratings war


Modern sport is all about the ratings. The commercial elements of the NBA Basketball Finals mean that the players are given the tasks of playing well but also attracting new fans so that the game continues to prosper. The recent credit crunch has meant an even more ferocious focus on what the commercial value of the games is. This might end up being detrimental to the general outlook of the game. As the Los Angeles Lakers took their glories last night it remained impossible not to think about the commercial success that the games had been throughout their inception and conclusion.

ABC was doing very well among the age group that ranges from eighteen years to forty nine years. Their average rating was seven point five and they had a twenty two percent share of the entire audience. The Fox News network came second with one point nine out of six while CBS took the third place with one point four out of four. The fourth place would go to Univision which had one point three out of four. NBC came in on the fifth position with zero point eight out of three and finally the sixth position went to CW with a score of zero point five out of two. All these are major networks which indicate the growing popularity of the game and the potential that it has to transform the relationship between the NBA Basketball Finals and the television world.

The game is increasing in popularity when it comes to the live stadiums but there is also the market that deals with the television world and the early indications are that it is not willing to give up its privileged position as one of the leading members of the team. It is a great thing that the NBA Basketball Finals are televised and they seem to be attracting a lot of attention from the general public. It remains to be seen whether this is going to be a fixture in the future but the early indications are that the game is healthy.
