The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals posted a 2.1 rating in the Atlanta TV market — below the national average, but probably not below expectations for a city that is losing its NHL franchise.

That rating means 2.1 percent of the Atlanta market’s TV households, or about 50,000 households, tuned in on average for NBC’s coverage of the final game of the Boston Bruins-Vancouver Canucks series Wednesday night. The Atlanta audience peaked at about 80,000 households late in the game, which Boston won 4-0.

Nationally, the game posted a 5.7 preliminary Nielsen rating in the major markets, including a whopping 43.4 in Boston.
