Anxious to show that the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights made the right call by shifting their local TV rights from pay TV back to broadcast, Scripps Sports put out a press release Wednesday touting a 135% increase in reach for the team via their new TV home, KMCC-TV in Las Vegas.
Through five Golden Knights games broadcast locally on Channel 34 so far, Scripps says, the team has averaged an 8.5 household rating, with the high being a 10.5 HH rating for the defending Stanley Cup champions' game against Dallas on Oct. 21 (which accounts for around 10.5 million Nevada households).
