ESPN’s 30th consecutive College World Series was the most-viewed and highest-rated in ESPN and ESPN2 history — including the best-of-three championship series won by LSU over Texas.
ESPN averaged 1,450,000 households, 1,928,000 viewers and a 1.5 rating, marking increases of 33 percent (vs. 1,091,000), 37 percent (vs. 1,408,000) and 36 percent (vs. 1.1), respectively, over 2008.
ESPN’s three championship series telecasts averaged 2,059,000 households; 2,762,000 total viewers; and a 2.1 rating, making it the most-viewed and highest-rated Series finals since the tournament expanded to the best-of-three format in 2003.
The championship series produced three of ESPN’s top four most-viewed CWS telecasts ever, highlighted by the most-viewed and second highest-rated for Game 3, which averaged 2,303,000 households; 3,160,000 viewers; and a 2.3 rating.
