\"UConn\/SNY<\/a>With UConn Huskies football and the Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s basketball programs all sharing the same TV home for the first time, SNY <\/strong>has announced that television ratings for those programs have increased significantly across the board in the Hartford-New Haven Designated Market Area (DMA).<\/p>\n

In its inaugural season on SNY, the undefeated UConn Women\u2019s basketball program has already experienced growth in popularity as the team\u2019s television ratings have increased 14 percent in the Hartford-New Haven DMA. SNY\u2019s Women\u2019s basketball coverage is averaging a 5.14 household rating through the first five games of the season, compared with the first five regional telecasts that aired last season. The network\u2019s highest household rating of the 2012-13 season occurred on Nov. 23, when the Huskies defeated Marist College at the Paradise Jam tournament, and garnered a 5.86 household rating. SNY\u2019s next UConn Women\u2019s basketball telecast is on Thursday, Dec. 6 when the Huskies, ranked 2nd in the country, take on 10th ranked Penn State at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

The Men\u2019s Basketball program is also off to a blazing start on SNY, averaging a 4.88 household rating in the Hartford-New Haven DMA for the 2012-13 season. The rating represents a 24 percent increase compared to the same period last year (3.92 household rating). The UConn Men\u2019s basketball program\u2019s next telecast on SNY is Friday, Dec. 7 at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

The UConn Huskies Football team also experienced significant television ratings gains this season by posting a huge 50 percent increase versus the 2011 season on SNY (3.10 household rating vs. 2.07 household rating). SNY\u2019s highest rated UConn football game registered a 3.90 household rating when UConn defeated Louisville on Nov. 24.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve always believed that creating a single destination \u2013 one that provides consistency as well as the most comprehensive, in-depth coverage for UConn fans would result in increased visibility and popularity,\u201d said <\/strong>Steve Raab, President of SNY. \u201cWe knew we would deliver UConn a broader national audience, but these substantial ratings gains across all of our UConn properties on a local level are another great development. We are excited about the potential to grow the brand even more as we continue our partnership with the University.\u201d<\/p>\n
