All-Star
Game Ratings
A "ratings point" represents a percentage of households with a
television set in the United States. A program's "share"
is it's percentage of the households whose televisions are in use during
the program's time slot.
Until 1992, the lowest-rated All-Star game was played in 1969 - that was
a day game. All the other All-Star games were night games.
Note the dramatic decline in viewership since the player's strike in
1994.
