Track & Field is getting a big kick right now in the ratings. In Germany, during the WC, athletics outdrew European soccer. On the night of the women’s high jump, 8.6 million German households tuned into the WC.
In the US, the TV on Versus has been very good, the coverage on Universal NBC, on the web has been amazing and the NBC coverage has been better. The coverage of Zurich this past weekend was very good. The big question that media, meet directors, managers, federation leaders and athletes have to ask themselves is, how do we keept his going?
