MLB ALL-STAR GAME TV RATINGS DOWN
Thursday, July 16th, 2009 -- 5:54 AM
The All-Star game's television ratings are down slightly from last year. Fox says the American League's 4-3 win Tuesday night earned a 8.9 fast national rating and 15 share. That's down 4% from the 9.3/16 for the first nine innings of the 15-inning marathon in 2008. Ratings were up 3% for the pregame show, which included President Barack Obama throwing out the first pitch. Ratings represent the percentage of all households with televisions, and shares represent the percentage of all homes with TVs in use at the time.Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
