Angels TV Viewership

[gotbeer]

A little blurb in the Times when discussing the Doggies tv troubles.  And at this rate, we may have more people watching the game live than at home.

Now in its fourth season, there's no end in sight for the Dodgers' TV blackout

Quote

And the Angels? Have their ratings soared as the Dodgers’ blackout lingers?

Not any more. They have the best player in baseball, Mike Trout, and, unlike Kershaw, he plays every day. (He would, at least, if he were not on the disabled list now.) The Angels’ games air on Fox Sports West, a channel carried by every major cable and satellite system in town. And they still attract fewer viewers than the Dodgers’ games.

In 2014, the first season of the Dodgers’ blackout, the Angels averaged 107,000 households. That number has fallen every year since, to an average of 47,000 households this year. The Angels last made the playoffs in 2014. (Fox Sports West says the Orange County audience — measured as a part of the Los Angeles media market — is five times larger for the Angels this season than for the Dodgers.)
