"I don't know how our folks (at CBS) come off calling this the 'Game of the Week' cuz there's a much better game - Dodgers and Giants - over on NBC." - Dizzy Dean

All-Star GameTelvision Ratings

A breakdown by networks: forty-one Midsummer Classics have been televised, twenty on NBC, nine on FOX, eight on ABC & four on CBS.
The Associated Press defines a"rating" as the percentage of TV households in the United States watching a broadcast, and each national point represents 1,114,000 homes as of 2007 (each year the number changes: in 2001 it was 1,055,000; in 1999 it was 1,008,000). A "share" is the percentage watching a program among those households with televisions on at the time.
Utilize this chart to answer trivia questions, determine best and worst lists, and breakdown the networks, the ratings and the statistics.
