NBA FINALS debuts with record low ratings

Unread post by AHE »

The opening game of the series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat brought 7.41 million viewers to ABC, the smallest audience for the finals since at least 1994, when total viewers began to be regularly recorded. The previous low was 8.06 million for Game 3 of the 2003 NBA Finals.

The game, which took place about four months later than the usual start date for the NBA Finals, was down by about 45 percent in total viewers vs. the U.S. audience for last year's finals opener between the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors. The two conference finals series that wrapped up last week were down a collective 35 percent year to year.

The NBA Finals drew record-low viewership facing unprecedented sports competition because of its shift to the fall, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic

ABC’s coverage of the Los Angeles Lakers’ six-game victory over the Miami Heat averaged 7.487 million viewers

Each of the first four games averaged fewer viewers than any finals game on record before this year.
