Note 1: Heat/Bucks was delayed from 7:30PM to 8:30PM due to travel issues. This caused a mess of scheduling. From 8:28PM to 10:13PM, Heat/Bucks aired on TNT and TruTV. TruTV averaged 103K viewers during this window. From 10:13PM to 10:22PM, Heat/Bucks aired only on TNT. This entire first TNT window averaged 945K viewers. From 10:26PM to 10:54PM, Heat/Bucks aired only on TruTV. TruTV averaged 196K viewers during this window. There were similar issues for Celtics/Lakers. From 10:13PM to 10:22PM, Celtics/Lakers aired only on TruTV. From 10:22PM to 10:26PM Celtics/Lakers aired on both TNT and TruTV. TruTV averaged 382K viewers during this window. From 10:26PM to 10:54PM, Celtics/Lakers aired only on TNT. From 10:54PM to 12:37AM, Celtics/Lakers once again aired on both TNT and TruTV. The entire TNT window averaged 1.118M viewers, the second TruTV window averaged 78K viewers. I have chosen to do this instead of trying to pick an actual viewership number for these games.
