SNY’s average rating for Mets games in 2017 was 2.31 percent of New York-area homes, down 15 percent from last year’s 2.73, when the Mets made the postseason for the second year in a row. This season they finished 70-92 and in fourth place in the National League East.
Last year, Mets games on SNY out-rated Yankees games on YES for the first time in SNY’s history, 2.73-2.28, but YES regained the edge for 2017, averaging 3.57 percent of homes for its Yankees games, up 57 percent.
