Is there any reason that people on this board should be making fun of people. I mean, what else is there to do with your life besides look at a soccer message board all day and make fun of people. I just asked a simple question, but obviously could not get a simple reply back. Any one out there know the ratings for MLS games? Maybe somebody that doesn't get there jollies from making fun of people?

This is just the way we operate here. Unlike the USA, it's easy to love or leave bigsoccer. Well, until you feel the need to come back that is.

Based on the record of redcarded folks bouncing back in short order, Bigsoccer must be somewhere around Heroin in terms of it's addictive nature.

don't get me wrong, I love bigsoccer, and I def. get most of my information here, and i don't get offended by the occasional ribbing, but to a certain extent acting rude and making comments can just be annoying. I really am curious though, any one got some info?

cable ratings are extremely hard to find... they aren't like over the air ratings (pax or abc) where you can get them within a week... with cable, you're never garraunteed to find out the rating

they just kinda turn up here and there and often never

This is a great thread.

Not to sidetrack you all with something useful.

However, the Boston Herald has always carried the sports ratings for the Boston area for each weekend on either Monday or Tuesday. For broadcast and cable.

While it's just Boston, it would be an amazing data set. As long as you excluded the New England games, you could pretty much say that increases over time were meaningful, or that stagnation over time was meaningful. In particular, it would give us a sense of whether the audience in an MLS city grow more committed to MLS over time, by watching the games even when the home team isn't playing.

Is somebody from Boston willing to do the research? I think you'd have to go to the Boston Public Library and skim the microfilms for the back issues. It'd take probably three hours to do 6 full years of ratings.

Calm down, people.

wasdykec, I clicked on the link you provided. It was pretty obvious to me from the networks that it was over-the-air broadcasts -- but then, I read this thread before clicking on the link, so there's that to consider.

While we're waiting for results from the Deuce, and since ne plus ultra brought up Boston, I've started a thread on Seattle's sports viewing habits (http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=45552).

Just for the record, wasdykec, I apologize for being a wiseass. It's one of my many failings.

[kenntomasch]

No ratings info yet, but I have found some ESPN2 MLS Demographic-type info to clip and save:

Gender: 69% male, 31% female
Race: 88% white, 9% black
Age: 39% 35-54, 22% 25-34, 22% 55+, 11% 12-18, 6% 18-24. Median age: 38
Adults 18-49: 61%
HH Income: 37% $75,000+
Median income: $55,095
Region: Northeast 31.0%, Southwest 16%, Southeast 16%, Pacific 15%, West Central 14%, East Central 8%

Not surprising. White, upper-middle-class sport, skews slightly younger.
