.9

Barney:

A .9 is absolutely possible. As a matter of fact, for a network show, that's kind of low. Here's to hoping it goes up next week.
 
In the article, Ken says that they were expecting a 0.6. A 0.9 rating is pretty good for a minor sports event that got moved to late night for college football in many markets. It is probably about the ratings of a national NHL game, but I don't know how it compares to typical poker programming.
 
Numbers

Hockey would draw between 1.5 or a 2.0 since it's not that popular. An NBA game goes around a 4.5 or so.

Poker ratings are hard to compare since the numbers used on cable are interpreted differently than network numbers (pro-wrestling usually does some of the best consistent ratings on cable at about a 3.5 weekly).

If they expected a .6 and got a .9, they've got to be happy with that. A 50% increase on expectations is outstanding.
 
rating/showing/share

Difficult to really gauge, since it didn't air in all markets at the same time.

And while network, as a lead in to college football, anything above an infomercial should be considered good. If the hits to BET21 were correct, then for it's first showing it did more than good.

I'd bet numbers go up, cause it was all it promised to be(and a lot more)
