Thursday Final Nationals: Yankees-Indians on FS1 Below Recent Division Series Game Ones

CBS again dominated Thursday night with its joint broadcast of New England Patriots at Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Thursday Night Football” with NFL Network.

FS1’s telecast of Game 1 of the “American League Division Series” between the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians fell behind recent LDS Game One’s on the opening Thursday of the MLB playoffs. At 3.78 million viewers, it was 19 percent below Red Sox-Indians Game 1 on TBS from Oct. 6, 2016 (4.66 million) and 9 percent below Royals-Angels Game 1 on TBS from Oct. 2, 2014 (4.15 million).

As positives, Yankees-Indians was up 15 percent Astros-Royals Game 1 on FS1 from Oct. 8, 2015 (3.3 million). The game peaked at 10:00-10:15 p.m. with 4.501 million viewers.

The game drew an 8.4 local rating/14 share in New York and a 24.0/36 in Cleveland — the best FS1 ratings ever in each respective market.

Earlier in the day on MLB Network, Boston Red Sox at Houston Astros in Game 1 of the American League Division Series (1.989 million viewers), up 8 percent from last year’s late Thursday afternoon ALDS Game 1, Blue Jays-Rangers on TBS (1.849 million).
