In what may very well go down in the books as the single greatest Game 7 in World Series history, the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night exorcised a 108-year-old demon in front of the largest national TV audience to tune in to a baseball game in 25 years.According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, the Cubs' 8-7 extra-inning victory over the Cleveland Indians averaged 40.045 million viewers, eclipsing Fox's previous record, which was set by the seventh game of the indelible Diamondbacks-Yankees Fall Classic in 2001. The clincher, which unfolded in a city still reeling from the terror attacks of Sept. 11, delivered 39.1 million viewers.The heart-pounding finish to the 2016 MLB campaign also averaged a staggering 21.8 household rating, making it the highest-rated World Series broadcast since the aforementioned Arizona-New York game drew a 23.5 rating. By comparison, only four NFL playoff games and Super Bowl 50 delivered a higher rating than Game 7 of the Cubs-Indians showcase. Continue reading at AdAge.com Continue reading at 'Advertising Age'
