Jazz TV ratings sky high

[Jeditiger]

For all you people here who think the team, Sloan, management, etc sucks, you sure aren't voting with your remote controls.

Through Dec. 22, the ratings for Jazz games on FSN-Utah are up a whopping 50 percent. The team’s winning percentage is up 13 percent from a year ago through 30 games. (That’s 21-9 vs. 17-13 last season.)

When's this TV contract up? Could this result in Greggy boy spending more money year-to-year in the near future? Possibly?

Probably because its more enjoyable to watch them play on the road and come back in the 4th quarter than to pay to watch them sleep through 4 quarters in Energy Solutions.

Boozer was boring. I grew tired of seeing him.

 

[Sloanfeld]

All those ratings yet lots of empty seats at home games. Cut back on the tithing and support the team.

I live in Spokane and they broadcast most of the games up here on our local FSN affiliate. I wonder how much that has to do with it.

They signed it in 2009 and TV deals are almost always 10 years long.

Edit: Looks like it is until the end of the 20-21 season

Attendance this year has been about the same as pre-Christmas attendance the previous years the Jazz were successful (aside from 2007-08 and 2008-09 when attendance even surpassed that of the back-to-back NBA Finals seasons - largely due to a record number of season tickets being sold). Monday night games are the worst draw attendance-wise and the Jazz have had alot of them so far (6). Unless the team absolutely tanks - support for the team usually steadily increases from now until all-star break.

For the 5 games that he'd play per year before breaking a leg or foot?

From an economic standpoint, YES!
