BC Ratings down 50% but.....

Boy ratings took a hit but I guess ESPN is trying to reach out through the web where they say they had a 68% increase from last year. The story is in bloodhorse and here is the link.

You can watch nearly the entire telecast on their website. Including Mayne's hysterical take on Horse Breeding.

Pretty pathetic that four times as many people watched college football games that had absolutely no bearing on the national championship and that almost twice as many watched a golf tournament that didn't even include Tiger Woods.

DIdnt MNF take a big hit when it went from ABC to ESPN?

seems most formerly 'big' events are taking a hit ratings-wise. handle is up tho, so i think it evens itself out. i'd be more worried if handle was down than ratings.

it doesnt surprise me at all.....i thought the actual coverage was lackluster at best.....hopefully they can iron some things out before the 3year old prep season starts.
