Milwaukee area TV households like their sports to be green and gold if Friday nights ratings are any indication. Also there is gambling in Casablanca.

The meaningless Green Bay Packer  pre-season victory against the Cleveland Browns on WMLW-TV beat NBC’s coverage of the Summer Olympics by a full 4 rating points or about 35,200 TV homes.

Weigel-owned WMLW won the night – the first time I’ve ever written that – with a 16.3 rating, or about 143,800 viewers.

NBC affiliate WTMJ earned a 12.2 or about 107,000 TV homes. A local rating point is the equivalent of about 8,822 TV homes.

Tempted as you might have been to turn off the Green Bay Packer vs. Detroit Lions game in the first quarter, if you stuck with it you witnessed what announcer Jim Nanz dubbed the Miracle in Motown.

Aaron Rodgers slung the longest game winning, game ending pass in NFL history  following a penalty which led to a play after the game was seemingly over.

Perhaps because it was also being presented on the NFL Network, the game’s preliminary average of 39.0 on CBS affiliate WDJT-TV (Channel 58), while impressive was about five rating points lower than this season’s average.

Milwaukee Media Notes: Packer Ratings Dip With Each Loss

The rating was steady throughout most of the game suggesting that those watching, at least, did not give up on the team.

The rating however, was less than usual for a team whose ratings peaked as high as 50 in the past.

If its Tuesday, it must be the day after “Monday Night Football,” in which the Green Bay Packers dominated the Kansas City Chiefs, 38-28.

ESPN is owned by Disney-ABC and WISN is an ABC affiliate.

The game earned a 35.6 for WISN, the equivalent of nearly 320,000 TV homes. The ratings were consistent throughout the game which also drove the station’s delayed late newscast to a 35 a 14.3 rating.
