Sixers' TV ratings up big, while Phillies' are mixed

Despite playing in the frigid Northeast in March and April, the Phillies are one of the few teams that has managed to grow attendance numbers this season.

But so far on television, the results have been more of a mixed bag.

Through Sunday, Phillies games were averaging a 3.61 rating on NBC Sports Philadelphia, roughly equating to about 103,000 households. That’s down about 5 percent compared to the same time last season.

But on the positive side, among adults ages 25 to 54, the games posted a 1.53 rating in the Philadelphia market, a 15 percent increase over this time last season.
