Payout Perspective:
Decisively low ratings on Saturday night which was due in part to NHL and PGA golf being on at the same time. The return of golf and the novelty of a west coast event allowing it to be in prime time on the east coast likely took away a casual viewer although the Philadelphia Flyers playing on NBC hurt it too. We shall see if PBC can capitalize on a rather busy fall schedule as it starts to produce more events.
