A new production wrinkle did little to boost interest in the MLB All-Star Game, as the TV turnout for Fox’s mic’d-up Midsummer Classic fell to an all-time low. According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, Tuesday night’s showdown between the American and National League headliners averaged 8.14 million viewers and a 5.0 household rating, establishing it as the least-watched, lowest-rated All-Star Game on record. Fox’s demo deliveries also took a hit; the 1.9 rating translates to an average draw of just 2.45 million adults 18-49, down from last year’s already depressed 2.76 million.
