Top 20 Most-Viewed Sports Events for Week of July 1-7: Wimbledon Championship Edition
Again no SBD report due to the Fourth of July, so I’m cutting this list short. Something called “Red Bull: Volcom Pro” on NBC on the 7th
had a .7 overnight rating, which, if it held up in the final, might result in over one million viewers, and there are a few other NBC events whose final ratings I don’t have.
These numbers are delayed a month to wait for SportsBusiness Daily’s ratings roundup to come out of the paywall. Other numbers from the same sources as before. Numbers in gray interpolated based on the rest of the chart.
