BURLINGTON, MA – FSN New England was the lone regional sports network to provide post-game coverage of Boston's Game 2 vs. Anaheim, and viewers tuned in for immediate reaction and analysis on the win.
The special post-game edition of Mohegan Sun New England Sports Tonight presented by the Boston Herald ran from 2 a.m. to 2:45 a.m. and averaged a .7 household rating and a 1.1 rating with males 25-54. FSN New England's household rating was up 75 percent from the special NEST post-game show following Game 1 of the 2003 division series against Oakland which also started at 10 p.m.
NEST's in-depth coverage featured host Gary Tanguay in studio with FSN New England's exclusive baseball analyst John Valentin and the Boston Herald's Michael Felger. Host Greg Dickerson provided live reports from the ballpark in Anaheim, including live post-game interviews with Mike Timlin and Johnny Damon and live cut-ins to Manager Terry Francona and Pedro Martinez post-game press conferences.
"Night in and night out, NEST provides the best news and analysis on the hottest sports topics of the day in Boston. Our special post-game coverage is part of our commitment to provide first rate coverage of major Boston sports events and we excited that fans tuned in," said David Woodman, Sr. VP and general manager of FSN New England.
