NBA gets a boost because LA Lakers play Boston Celtics, but if some small market team plays again ratings go in the dumps.
World Series needs teams like Red Sox, Yankees or Cubs to give the series a boost or they go into a nose dive. Witness all time low rated 2008 Series the fans in Philly tuned in , but only something like 40% TV's in Tampa did and for the rest of the country it could have been on the moon for all anybody cared.
NHL needed an original 8 team like Red Wings and haven" Sid the Kid" or its back to the ratings lower then a tractor pull contest.
Even NCAA BCS Bowls and NCAA FINAL 4 are dependent on certain big name schools. Witness this years Orange Bowl one of the teams was the Cincinnati Bear Cats and not only does it get record low TV ratings, but they couldn't give those tickets away. Love or hate them , but Notre Dame gives college bowl games an over 50% boost in the TV ratings.
