I just don't understand how the size of the television market matters when no one is watching it. The potential is never going to be realized.

The Coyotes grabbed 28,800 Valley households Monday for Fox Sports Arizona’s broadcast of the Game 3 playoff loss to the Detroit Red Wings. That’s far better than what the Coyotes averaged on FSAZ during the regular season.
The Yotes averaged just 9,000 households watching the game on TV this regular season — an 18 percent drop from last year.
9000 household average, it hit 28800 in the playoffs. Does it matter at that point which number the area comes in at market sizes in the US?
