An estimated 3,770,000 households watched the Coca-Cola 600 on TBS, according to Nielsen Media Research, with an estimated 9,734,140 viewers tuning in to see the Coca-Cola 600. It earned a national cable rating of 4.9 according to Nielsen Media Research( NOL ). In contrast the Indy 500 on ABC drew a rating of 5.3( SpeedNet ) — CLARIFICATION: didn’t quite understand the ratings deal – note that the ratings are NOT directly comparable. TBS’ 4.9 is 4.9% of folks who get TBS. That’s 4.9% of 75 million homes, or 3,770,000 homes. Indy’s 5.0 rating on ABC, is 5.3% of about 95 million homes, or 5,035,000 homes tuned in. sorry about that
