Bob Finnan of the News Herald reports:
The good news is the Cavaliers’ 3.93 average television rating was the seventh-best in the NBA.
The bad news? The Sports Business Journal reported the Cavs experienced a 54-percent drop on Fox Sports Ohio, the biggest yearly ratings decrease in at least seven years. The Cavs were the local ratings leader in 2009-10 in the NBA.
The Cavs’ huge drop can be traced to their 19-63 record and the loss of two-time MVP LeBron James in free agency.
A Cavs spokesman looked at the positive aspect of the story.
“We feel great that our ratings are clearly in the top tier of the league,” he said.
