Jays/Os TV Ratings

[SweetSmellingChacin]

According to Sportsnet, the showdown between Toronto and Baltimore was their most watched program in 2016, with an average audience of 4.02 million viewers.

 

Overall more than 9 million Canadians watched some part of the broadcast with the audience peaking at the bottom of the ninth inning with none out.

 

After the game was done, an average audience of 1.04 million viewers watched Sportsnet Central’s hour-long post-game coverage, the most-watched Sportsnet Central this year.

 

Rogers Broadcasting says it was also Sportsnet’s fifth-most watched broadcast of all time.

Real incentive for Rogers to win

 

Compare that to the miniscule world cup of hockey numbers and how much Rogers spent on Hockey

 

Make bluejays great again!!

[SweetSmellingChacin]

Jays also averaged over 1 million viewers per game over the course of the regular season.

 

Jays officially finished first in AL attendance and 3rd in the majors.

 

Not a bad year for Rogers.

$200M payroll plz

[Governator]

That's cool and all but these sort of posts belong in General Blue Jays Thread. We'll all still see it, I promise.

 

That said, it doesn't surprise me. A do or die game and the city/country was buzzing for a couple of days to hype it.

4 MILLON???? WOW that's INSANE!

 

What I'm more interested in is the SN #s for Tomorrow's 1pm game

[RealAccountant]

Does anyone have the raptors and leafs playoff numbers

[AdamLindsMom]

Almost time to go hunting for FA's in the bargain bin again.

This was the 5th most in Sportsnet history in terms of ratings, #1 was ALCS game 5 at 5.12 million viewers and you'd think that ALDS game 5 was somewhere inbetween as well. I'd guess 3 of the top 5 are the Jays.

[RealAccountant]

I've heard of sponsorship dollars being worth as much $2 per hour per view. That wild card broadcast alone is worth at least $15 Mil

 

And Rogers have used much higher numbers to justify NHL bids

 

We should be the f***ing dodgers

[SweetSmellingChacin]

The Raps were just below 2 million against the Cavs.

 

The Leafs/Bruins playoff a few years ago was around 4 million near the end of the series.

This year, the Jays have the highest TV ratings in Major League Baseball, along with the highest attendance in the AL.

[RealAccountant]

Conservatively speaking one playoff series adds at least 30-50 Mil to Rogers media bottom line

[RealAccountant]

And how is Rogers not trying to add a franchise in Vancouver?

Red Alert - the thread police are out and about.

 

On the topic, I am not surprised that this met Game 5 DS numbers. Hopefully this will translate for next years payroll.

Just giving friendly advice to a new user...

Are you sure you want to go to red alert it does mean changing the bulb

The real question is how much money did the advertisers pay for their ad spots, not how many people watched.

 

Unfortunately American advertisers pay a larger sum than their Canadian counterparts.

I don't believe the ad rates are anywhere close to as much in Canada as what they are in select places of the USA. I'm also not sure if MLB gets a portion of that revenue or not in the playoffs.

 

As for attendance, we only get 50% of the gate I believe, and 25%? in the first few games of the next round. If it goes 4 or 5 games, then we get the full amount for those games I think.

They're smart with their money, look at Shomi that s*** is shutting down even though people were using it but it is still getting shutdown next month, Rogers isn't just printing money. If you get paid $2000 every 2 weeks who are we to tell you that you have to spend $1800 of it, do as you wish with your money.

[Abomination]

And how is Rogers not trying to add a franchise in Vancouver?

 

They wouldn't be allowed to own two teams (obviously).

[Dr. Dinger]

lol @ teams signing billion dollar TV deals with 100K viewers a night while we do like 10 million.

 

Now if only Rogers paid the Blue Jays fair market value for their tv deal... must be nice to have an MLB-condoned monopoly.

[Krylian]

$200M payroll plz

 

Not a chance

[Dr. Dinger]

Not a chance

 

There is absolutely zero reason why the Boston Red Sox should have a significantly larger payroll than the Jays. We had better attendance and a much, MUCH larger market both locally and nationally.

[THANOS]

$200M payroll plz

 

Yes please, and giving that type of money to Shapiro would be like giving Stephen Hawking super powers.

There are many reasons, obviously most of them don't make sense to you and me but they have plenty of reasons.

[RealAccountant]

Regardless, I think the days of payroll crunch are over.

 

Rogers is a greedy corporation. There will be payroll support now, but there will also be pressure to win.

[Dr. Dinger]

There are many reasons, obviously most of them don't make sense to you and me but they have plenty of reasons.

 

There's only one reason. One team has an ownership that prioritizes winning a World Series, and one team has an ownership that would like to win a World Series, but prioritizes profits and shareholders. That's what happens when your owner is a conglomerate and not a rich baseball fan. As far as actual revenue is concerned, the Jays are right there with the Red Sox over the last two years and possibly even higher.

[Dr. Dinger]

I think however that Shapiro is a smart guy who probably negotiated a payroll increase proportionate to attendance/revenue increase when he took the job. IMO he wouldn't have left the team he built in Cleveland unless he knew there was a chance to operate a team with a top tier payroll. I hope I am right.
