NEW YORK (AP) -- The NL championship series opener between Colorado and Arizona was easily the least-watched LCS prime-time game ever.
Colorado's 5-1 victory over Arizona on Thursday night received a 3.6 national rating, TBS said Friday.
The previous low for a prime-time LCS game was 4.9, set by Game 4 of the AL championship series between the Chicago White Sox and the Angels on Fox in 2005 and matched by Game 3 of the NLCS between St. Louis and the New York Mets on Fox last year.
Both those games were on Saturday nights, usually the lowest-rated night of the week because fewer people are at home.
This is the first season LCS games are being televised by a cable network. Fox is broadcasting ALCS games.
TBS received a 4.2 rating in its universe of homes and said the game was seen by approximately 5.3 million viewers. It was the top-rated cable program.
