If you think NFL ratings were bad for the Rams in Los Angeles this season, wait until they have another team there next fall.
The Rams returned to the market this season after spending 21 years in St. Louis, but several times played in the least-watched pro telecast of the weekend in LA. TV viewership figures were abysmal for the Rams in their home market despite the gleam — albeit short — of their “honeymoon” return year.
Now with the San Diego Chargers joining the Rams in LA next season, fans there will be inundated by Rams and Chargers telecasts unless some kind of compromise is reached.
