Game 3 of the World Series Friday night on FOX averaged a 3.1 adult 18-49 (3.08 more precisely) in the official national ratings, below the recent 2007-2013 average of a 3.5 adult 18-49 rating for Game 3 but above the previous lows for Game 3 in 2012 (2.8) and 2010 (2.9), also featuring the San Francisco Giants in their recent successful World Series runs. Nonetheless, the numbers remain sluggish, at best.
With the broad measure of persons 2+, Game 3 on Friday averaged 12,133,000 people, just below the 12,554,000 average for Games 1 and 2 this year and matching the recent 2007-2013 average for Game 3 (when it aired on Saturday nights).
The tables below tracking the recent six years have also been updated. Official ratings for Game 4 (Saturday) and Game 5 (Sunday) will be posted early Tuesday morning.
