World Series television rating down from 2013 but up from Giants' last appearance in 2012

Published February 05, 2015

The World Series is averaging a 7.5 rating through three games, down 7 percent from last year but up 4 percent over San Francisco's last appearance in 2012.

Kansas City's 3-2 win in Game 3 received a 7.2 rating, 13 share and 12.1 million viewers, according to fast national ratings from Nielsen Media Research announced by Fox on Saturday. That was down slightly from the 7.4 for St. Louis' 5-4 win over Boston in Game 3 last year, but up from the 6.1 for the Giants' 2-0 victory over Detroit in 2012, which matched the record low for any Series game. The third game in both 2012 and '13 was on a Saturday.

Friday night's game began with 8.4 million viewers and peaked at 14.4 million during the late stages.
