TV Ratings Slip as NFL Contract Sparks Debate
AP Sports writer Howard Smith reports that early NFL TV ratings are down across CBS NBC and slightly up on ABC amid a four year, 656 million contract. NFL officials downplay concern noting early season timing and weather. NBC World Series ratings peak with Yankees Dodgers posting a record 32.8, while Mets A's 1973 series held 30.7 and ABC’s 1978 telecast sits third at 29.8.
