Friday Final Nationals: Blue Jays-Indians Game 1 on TBS Earns 5-Year Low for an LCS Opener

CBS was Friday night’s No. 1 network among total viewers (8.95 million), adults 18-49 (1.2 rating/5 share), adults 25-54 (1.8/6) with its combo of “MacGyver”, “Hawaii Five-0” and “Blue Bloods”.

TBS led the evening among adults 18-34 (0.86 rating) with Game 1 of the “American League Championship Series” between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Cleveland Indians. Nonetheless, at a 2.52 U.S. household rating and 4.11 million viewers, it was the least-watched LCS opening game since 2011 NLCS Game 1: St. Louis-Milwaukee on TBS (2.1 household rating/3.35 million, 10/09/11) — the 2011 game had aired on a Sunday afternoon. The Toronto Blue Jays have been a Canadian ratings hit but its figures are not included in the U.S. ratings. Compared to the most recent time TBS had aired an ALCS Game 1 (Kansas City-Baltimore in 2014), Blue Jays-Indians was down 31 percent in each households (2.5 rating vs. 3.6 rating) and total viewers (4.1 million vs. 5.9 million).
