As long as the LA Market can still get numbers like this for an NFL game (Cin v Dal), then it may still be a long time before they ever get another team.
1 NEW YORK 12.3/29
ONLY a 29 share from NY for the defending SB Champions??? Now this is a market that doesn't deserve an NFL team, let alone 2 of them.
One thing about both the LA market and the NYC market is that they have more choices than most of the country when it comes to other broadcast channels. As a result, their demos for the big networks tend to be lower across the board. I really wish, for example, that we could see the Univision numbers for these markets and UNI pulls bug numbers.

LA and NYC has more than the 400 channels I have access too? Perhaps a couple of local independents.
But a good point about Univision numbers. I bet the raw numbers are pretty strong for the two markets.
Douglas, are the Univision numbers available from your reports?

Which part of the phrase broadcast channels makes you think you have 400 of them? A good chunk of the population doesn't have cable/satellite, much less the expanded pay for every channel on the planet no matter how crappy it is version of cable/satellite.
This article from May: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2008/05/millions-still.html lists Los Angeles as having a 13%+ of the households not even ready for the DTV (households that will go dark when the transition occurs). So, add that 13%+ to the other people that have over-the-air ONLY but are ready with a digital antenna and you get an idea as to the number of people that are restricted to broadcast only options in LA. Now, logically, a bigger percentage of those people are Univision viewers since people restricted to broadcast only are more likely to be poorer.

Unfortunately, Douglas doesn't get Univision data.
