The more succesful the Blackhawks become on the ice, the more people are tuning in to watch.
Comcast SportsNet delivered its highest Hawks regular-season game ratings ever Wednesday night. The station received a 3.03 household rating from Nielson Media Research for the Hawks' exciting 2-1 overtime victory over the Rangers.
Comcast attracted approximately 106,080 household for the entire game and a 3.9 peak rating during the 9:30 p.m. quarter hour (136,539 households). The 3.03 rating beat the previous mark of 2.70 set during the Hawks' Oct. 14 game against the Oilers.
The Hawks on Comcast SportsNet are currently averaging a 1.81 household rating, a year-to-date increase of 78 percent compared to last season through 19 telecasts.
One-timer: Cristobal Huet will get the start in goal against the Sabres on Friday night in Buffalo. ... The Hawks held practice at the United Center before boarding their charter en route to Buffalo.

I hear you Andy H, Boers and Bernstein are seriously annoying! They're like two goofy 19 year olds who figured out how to hack a radio signal.
The Hawks winning in OT or in the 12th round of a shootout (as happened the last couple of games) should help ratings.
Please tell Boers and Bernstein that they are done in this town.
A Hawks fan called in the night Pierre and Mag's numbers were retired, asking why they do not talk about the Hawks?
Bernstein basically told the guy that the NHL is dead, and no body cares.....
Boycott this show!
Marriotti is gone, they are next!!!!!!!!!!
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's healthy for the league to have one of it's cornerstone franchises thriving?
That is fantastic! I just saw an article that WGN's ratings are alos rocketing. That is great too, but as an out of towner with DirecTv and the Center Ice pacakge i almost never get to see the WGN feed. 90% of the time, I'm stuck watching the other team's feed. Come on guys! this is 2009 (almost 2010!)... can't this issue get fixed?? It's bad enough I'm missing the Versus games!
