How is such a "boring" and "old" team so popular?

Spurs Broadcasts Top Nielsen Ratings Across All Outlets
Jan. 6, 2011
SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs announced today the team is leading the league in local television ratings through January game broadcasts.
Spurs broadcasts averaged an impressive 9.7 Nielsen household rating in the San Antonio market on FOX Sports Southwest through January 5, 2011. According to Nielsen Media Research data, the 9.7 rating is a 54 percent season-to-season increase; pacing the Spurs to top the team’s best-ever season average of 7.7 established in 2004-05.
The Spurs delivered their highest regular-season local rating ever on FOX Sports Southwest on Dec. 28 against the Los Angeles Lakers with a 17.8 rating (150,500 San Antonio households). It was the most-watched program of the day in San Antonio and was the best rating for a Spurs game on FSSW since an 18.3 for Game 5 of last season’s NBA Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks on April 27, 2010.
Through January 5, the Spurs have produced their top five all-time regular-season ratings, and nine of the season’s top 10 highest-rated games on any regional sports network in the country.
Since the record regular-season rating on Dec. 28, Spurs ratings have been on a roll, adding to the Top 5 all-time list on FOX Sports Southwest. The No. 2 all-time Spurs regular-season rating was recorded on Jan. 5 against the Boston Celtics with a 14.3 rating/120,500 households, one day after a 14.0 rating/118,600 households on Jan. 4 against the New York Knicks that followed a 13.1 rating/110,400 households on Jan. 1 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The fifth-highest all-time Spurs regular-season rating on FSSW was set on Dec. 22 against Denver with a 12.3 rating/103,900 households.
Spurs Live pre and post game shows on FSSW also are pulling in high ratings. Postgame shows are averaging a 5.0 rating, a 98 percent increase over last year; while pregame shows are averaging a 2.6 rating for a 52 percent increase.
Spurs broadcasts on KENS 5 TV have averaged a 22 percent season-to-season increase from last year with an 11.8 average rating. In addition, CW35 Spurs ratings are averaging an 8.9 rating seeing a 31% season-to-season increase over the 2009-10 season.
Spurs games are called by Bill Land and Sean Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_. Andrew Monaco provides sideline reports for all FSSW games, while Joe Reinagel suits up for KENS broadcasts and Chuck Miketinac reports for games on CW35.

LOCAL ratings
I thought this was national ratings for second, but they are not. Spurs are the only pro sports team in the city, of course they should have the best viewership. So, pointless thread is pointless.
Spurs have always had good local ratings. No big deal.
I agree that leading the league in local ratings isn't as impressive as national ones, but still, San Antonio is a pretty freaking small market and even though it only has one sports team, it's pretty surprising that SA is beating the Lakers, Knicks, Celtics, etc. who all come from much bigger markets and whose fans also have many reasons to watch.
LOCAL viewing dumbass....
Outside Sham Anphonio nobody watches the spurts!
Of course not
People would rather watch the Boston Skeptics drill the Miami Cleats
Good one stick...
take that Silver Stars.
It's still nice to know the viewrship is stong ...when i lived in S.A. almost EVERYONE local were Spur fans and hated when i wore my Laker gear. Did you notice who they were playing when they got their HIGHEST numbers?
Well, this just shows the reason behind the drop in attendance.
Now days, with the advancement and affordability of HDTV, more and more San Antonio residents are deciding to kick back at the house. Cheaper beer at home also.
Our attendance will pick up as the playoffs approach, the Spurs front office needs to see the trends, and make changes to pricing to encourage more ticket sales. Hopefully the Spurs decision makers see the changes taking place around us, and evolve with the times. Blockbuster video sat still and watched the industry change to the convenience of Red Box, Netflix, etc. and now they've filed chapter 11 bankruptcy.
In no way am I trying to say our financials as a franchise are suffering, because I'm not into the profits aspect, but it's just an example of our evolving times.
Not surprised. The Spurs are San Antonio's only professional sports team and everyone lives and dies with the Spurs in S.A. Most (if not all) people are die-hard loyal fans, unlike some fans of other teams who are bandwagon fans.
I dunno...some team from California???It's still nice to know the viewrship is stong ...when i lived in S.A. almost EVERYONE local were Spur fans and hated when i wore my Laker gear. Did you notice who they were playing when they got their HIGHEST numbers?
Your fellow Spurfan one-upped him in stupidity, tbh:
Last night 100% of people in my house was watching Boston game - 100 % !!!
100% disappointed people
Yup I was very much disappointed
Most regular season games, at home, are not broadcast nationally.
