October 18, 200520 yr Chicago Tribune -- At 10:30 p.m. Sunday, WFLD-Ch. 32 reached a 43.3 rating when the Sox clinched (one ratings point is worth more than 34,000 homes). That's the highest peak rating for any televised event for Chicago this year, including the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards. -- Where the payoff comes in the postseason is in picking up the non-traditional viewer. The Sox's ALCS games averaged a 26.6 rating. Sunday's game did a 32.5 rating and a 46 share (the percentage of televisions tuned into the broadcast), more than 12 times higher than a regular-season broadcast on CSN. Chicago is watching.
