378000 for national broadcasts? Wow that is abysmal. Outside of Canada, hockey is purely regional it seems. You follow your local team and that is it.

I love the espn+ platform, but only because it gives me access to Flames games. I'm generally only watching the national broadcast if it's a Flames game.

I wonder how much this viewership is out of line with the models used by Disney et al to buy the rights.
