The game's viewership peaked with 4,480,000 viewers at 8:30 p.m. ET.
"Anyone work for @TempurPedic I need a new bed and want a deal because we're World Champs #NotSubtle"
Game 7 drew 23.013 million viewers, the lowest for a World Series Game 7, but still more than enough to make this not the least-watched World Series ever.
"SWING AND A MISS! SWING AND A MISS! SWING AND A MISS! AND A WORLD SERIES GAME 7 WINNING CURLY W IS IN THE BOOKS! THE CELEBRATION IS ON! THE WASHINGTON NATIONALS ARE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS! REMEMBER WHERE YOU ARE!"
If Game 6 ends the World Series, it may well be the least-watched World Series ever unless the average viewership goes up by over six million from Game 5.
The first two games of this year's World Series are both in the 10 least-watched World Series games ever.
The first game of the World Series was the second-lowest Game 1 on record with 12.194 million average viewers, only slightly ahead of 2014's 12.191 million.
If the ruling stands, MASN will also owe interest on the $296.8 million.
The Nationals posted a photo of the new "Natitude" sandwich on their PR site on Sept. 28, 2017. Darren Rovell claimed it as an "exclusive" on Oct. 6, and the team got mad at local TV reporter Brody Logan for posting a photo that interfered with Rovell's "sandwich exclusive."
Hernandez said Soto was "not a home run hitter." Soto then proved him wrong.
MLB's revenue sharing committee decided that the network owes Washington about $20 million more annually in TV rights than it paid out between 2012 and 2016.
"It would be illogical to allow MLB — a potentially conflicted party — to determine whether MLB itself had a financial interest in one of the parties to the dispute at the relevant time."
