NHL’s Winter Classic Scores Big for NBC

Jan 4, 2009  •  Post A Comment

The National Hockey League’s second Winter Classic outdoor regular-season game on NBC posted a 12% ratings increase from last year and was the highest-rated regular-season hockey game in almost 13 years.
The Classic, which saw the Detroit Red Wings defeat the Chicago Black Hawks in historic Wrigley Field, drew a 2.9 overnight rating and a 6 share on New Year’s Day.
“Year one was an extraordinary experience. Year two was the establishment of what promises to be a great tradition,” said NBC Sports President Ken Schanzer.
In Chicago, the game drew an 11.8 rating and 21 share, while in Detroit it had a 10.5 rating and 20 share. In Buffalo, N.Y., where the first outdoor game was held, Thursday’s game attracted a 10.1 rating and 20 share.
The NHL has not yet decided the future of the Winter Classic.

  1. Wow!, this was such a quality write-up. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and true effort to make a good posting… but what can i say… I keep putting it off rather than seem to achieve something. aline

  2. If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

  3. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
