ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - The B.F.I.B. (Best Fans in Baseball) have done it again. St. Louis Cardinals nation proved once more that they are the most-passionate fans in the sport.
The local TV rights holder for the team announced Friday that Cardinals’ local television ratings ranked No. 1 among Major League Baseball teams in 2021, according to Nielsen Media Research data. The Bally Sports Midwest broadcast averaged a 6.2 household rating in the St. Louis DMA, up 16% from a 5.4 in 2020.
But we know many fans tuned in on their TV's, muted it, then turned up KMOX on their phone, tablet, computer or radio. ;)

It’s the third time in four seasons the Cardinals have finished first, and the 22nd consecutive year the team placed in the top four in baseball.
Expectedly, TV viewership soared during the Cardinals’ franchise-record, 17-game winning streak in September. Cardinals baseball was the No. 1 prime time program in St. Louis each of the last 20 nights the team played during the regular season (19 games on Bally Sports Midwest, one on KTVI-FOX).
