Chicago Ratings Records Extend to VERSUS

VERSUS’ coverage of the Chicago Blackhawks/Dallas Stars game drew a 2.5 rating in the Chicago market last night.  This is up 56% from the Hawks 09-10 season average on VERSUS (1.6) and up 25% from CSN Chicago’s season average (2.0), network spokeswoman Katie Bradshaw told us this afternoon.

The game peaked at a 3.5 rating during the final 15 minutes of the broadcast (9:15-9:30 CT/10:15-10:30 ET).  The Blackhawks return to VERSUS next Tuesday at 8PM with a game against the Minnesota Wild.
