Crowded Friday-Night Subway for YES Network

By Multi Channel News Staff -- Multichannel News, 5/21/2007 11:49:00 AM

Yankees Entertainment & Sports Network said its telecast of Friday night's Major League Baseball game between the New York Yankees and New York Mets was the highest-rated and most-watched regular-season Subway Series on any New York regional sports network since MLB began interleague play in 1997.

YES' 6.2 rating and 454,000 TV households Friday topped the previous record-holder, Madison Square Garden Network's 5.2 rating for the June 26, 1998 game (348,000 TV households).

The network said it also topped SportsNet New York’s 4.1 rating (300,000 TV households) for the same game.
