The winter ratings book has come to a close. This is one of the most divisive books of the year. Some programmers put less value in this book than the other three. Others say all information is useful and important.
In an effort to keep industry professionals up to date on what transpired, Barrett Sports Media has created a single recap highlighting as many markets as possible based on information made available to us. If you have numbers to share that aren’t listed here, please send an email to demetrithegreek@gmail.com. We will happily update the piece with new data.
For reference on book-to-book performance, click here to see the Mid Market ratings round-up for the fall. You can also check out the winter numbers in the Major Markets by clicking here.
