6ABC, led by Jim Gardner and Gary Papa easily earned the most viewers for the Phillies Parade of Champions on Friday. Fox29, which carried the World Series, and got a head start with parade coverage thanks to its local morning show, Good Day Philadelphia, came in a surprising second place.
Here are the ratings:
Phillies Parade 12 – 5 p.m.

6ABC – 9.0 rating/23 share 267,000

Fox29 – 1.8 rating/8 share – 131,000
CBS3 – 1.5 rating/7 share – 114,000
NBC10 – 1.4 rating/7 share – 106,000
Each rating point represents around 29,000 viewers. So when we add up the four stations, that’s a total of 705,000 viewers.
Even though Comcast SportsNet is not listed, it should be commended for excellent coverage. I caught their replay on Saturday (because I actually left my house and attended the parade on Friday). Michael Barkann you are the man!
Comcast SportsNet was by far the best parade coverage. I checked out all of the other channels, but got so tired of the anchors blah, blah, blah, blah. Michael B. is great and having a former MLB pitcher in Mitch Williams really gave them the ability to convey what the players were experiencing and what it meant to them.
haha oh 6abc
