College football on ABC -- most of the country saw Florida at Miami -- scored a 4.4/9 to win the 8 p.m. hour. NBC's "Most Outrageous Game Show Moments," 4.0/8, took second, while an hour of "Cops" on FOX finished third at 3.6/7. CBS aired the U.S. Open women's final between Belgians Justine Henin-Hardenne and Kim Clijsters (2.5/5 average from 8 to 10 p.m.).

Damn! The final was beat out by reruns of Cops. :haha:

[per4ever]

there's already a topic about it..

and like we care about american tv ratings

 

[tfannis]

Woohoo :bounce: Two Belgians from tiny tiny Belgium upset some big American channel Lovely :haha: Gooo Kim and Justine :devil:

 

[irma]

it really doesn't speak for american tv viewers I have to say

 

[raquel]

Most Outrageous Game Show Moments - can someone from the US send me a tape?!!

 

[ys]

Who cares about Amercan average tastes? After all it is the same people who are getting excited out of crap like NBA or NFL..

 

[GoGoMaggie]

at least it was much more exciting then any of the all Williams finals.

 

[decemberlove]

did u honestly expect GOOD ratings?>

 

[carot]

Wow... we know Tee is a narcist but the 40+ thread about the ratings is right below this one

 

[Venus Forever]

This is the funniest one yet. :lol:

Good one.

First, the WILLIAMS matches are always the highlight of the tournies.
Did you not hear all of the whining by media and promoters at the absence of V&S?

Also, this is a message board and a subject may be posted more than once if desired by the member.

Now, back to the topic of the bottom rated ratings. If the WILLIAMS are not in next year's Open, then I am sure that CBS will cancel the finals broadcast during the prime time spot.

 

[GoGoMaggie]

When will you Americans learn?
American ain't the only country on the earth.
None of the non american ppl would give a fuck about it. The sisters ain't that carismatic.
Their story may be great but they aren't as big as the sport itself. they have as many haters as their supporters...so.....

They should have done it when they found out that it would be an all-Belgian final.

 

[tfannis]

lololol TR...you sure are a first class whiner :worship: Boohoo low ratings..;I'm sure Kim and Justine wouldn't dare to make it to another final at the us open....bring on the Williams so they can rescue whatever has to be rescued (could it be....money???? Can't be exciting tennis, that's for sure )...my god, poor CBS :sad: we're all feeling so sorry for them...

 

[bandabou]

Really?! Then you must be a REALLY big fan, because those two finals were boring as hell. But everybody has their own opinion.

 

[Rocketta]

well people then don't complain when they don't put the foreign players on the prime courts or the best times because the USTA/US OPen depends on tv money to offer that Million dollar first prize. It all works together. Those ratings was bad for women's tennis and it will effect all the players not just CBS or the US Open.

 

[LeonHart]

Is this suppose to make me sad? Boohoo I'm so disappointed. There are you happy?

 

[Martian KC]

AGAIN, I'm sure Justine is cryng about it on her trophy.:haha:

 

[Giuliano]

Does it show that some players are indispensable to American ratings or that American channels do a hell of a bad a job and are not able to promote foreing players?

 

[arn]

I think the belgian channels never had better ratings at 3 am as they had yesterday.

oh, You don't find this meaningful?
Well, so our the american tv-ratings to me.
