NEW YORK (AP) — Game 3 earned the second-lowest television rating for a World Series game.
The Texas Rangers’ 4-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night on Fox drew a 6.7 rating and 13 share, beating only the 6.1 for Game 3 of the 2008 Phillies-Giants series. That game was delayed 91 minutes because of rain and didn’t start until after 10 p.m. on the East Coast.
The rating was down 26 percent from the 9.1 for Game 3 of last season’s Yankees-Phillies World Series.
This year’s series is averaging an 8.1 through three games, up 5 percent from the record low of the 2008 World Series.
The rating is the percentage watching a program among homes with TVs. The share is the percentage tuned into the broadcast among those households with TVs on at the time.
