Wow, that early start time just killed the Tampa/Washington viewership
I’m very surprised by those numbers. You would think using trends that the Nashville/Vancouver game would of drawn less viewers. I don’t think that this is something with Ovi, I think Will is right when he says that this might be an early start issue, but next year we won’t have that issue.
Also, the game was on CSN in Washington/Baltimore, so VS lost those markets.
