hf101 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I thought this was interesting. Where is New York? Where is D.C.? How did HJ..... Rick the Ratings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It's because the only way for someone from Buffalo to see playoffs of any type (hockey or football) is to watch them on TV since the Sabres and Bills opt not to participate each year. Also there's nothing else to do there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but the ratings (as I understand it) don't indicate a consistent "number of people per point" in each area. It is a percentage of all homes with television sets. There are likely more people in New York City Metro watching, but they would get a lower rating because there are more televisions in that Metro and more people watching other things. So a 2 rating in Buffalo may not be as many actual people watching as, say, a 1.04 in Philadelphia or a .98 in Chicago and almost certainly West Palm's .96 doesn't represent anything like the total number of people that the .98 in Chicago does.
