Knicks Beat Nets In TV Battle 6th March, 2007 - 12:12 pm Newsday -
With a low-grade buzz surrounding the Knicks as the team nears a playoff berth, the Knicks have re-asserted their market dominance over the Nets.
Last season, the Nets competed well with their cross-river rivals in television ratings. On MSG, the Knicks ended 2005-06 with an average of 1.19 percent of households, translating to about 88,000 homes. On YES, the Nets were close at 1.00.
This season, the Knicks' average rating is 1.42 while the Nets have fallen to 0.72, giving the Knicks nearly double the TV market share.
Both times that the teams have played each other this season, MSG has roughly tripled the Nets' rating on YES. Most recently in the teams' February 25 game in New Jersey, MSG registered at 1.29, soundly beating the 0.44 of YES.
