And I read somewhere, a long while ago, that LA TV ratings are up in LA since the Rams and Raiders left because the local channels can always pick the best games to show. Like Global could technically do up here IF they didn't show whatever game Spokane was airing, allowing them to artificially double ad revenues.
How is LA a terrible sports town?? The Dodgers sold over 3.5 million seats
fielding a triple A team last year, the Kings have a very loyal and solid following, even the Lakers still fill the Staples even though they are in last place in their divison. Did you see the 92,000 + at the USC/UCLA game this weekend??
