Saturday Final Nationals: Giants-Cubs Game 2 Sets New Zenith for MLB Network

Florida State-Miami was the “Saturday Night Football” game on ABC on this evening as the network won the night overall.

A new MLB Network viewership record was set on the night, courtesy of San Francisco-Chicago Cubs Game 2 of the “National League Division Series”. At a 2.5 U.S. household rating and 4.6 million viewers, it shatters the previous network high watermark of a 1.0 rating and 1.8 million viewers for St. Louis-L.A. Dodgers in Game 2 of the 2014 NLDS.

San Francisco-Chicago Cubs NLDS Game 2 peaked at a 2.9 U.S. household rating and 5.2 million viewers from 10-10:15 p.m. ET (Source: MLB Network). Locally, the game drew an 18.8 rating in Chicago (MLB Network’s second-best local rating delivery to-date) and an 11.9 rating in San Francisco (Source: MLB Network).
