A day after Fox announced it reached a new deal to carry the baseball All-Star game for the next seven years, ratings for Tuesday's game could have validated the investment. The game posted a 9.3
household rating, 15 percent above last year's contest, while the performance in the 18-to-34 demo also saw improvements. Among adults 18-to-34, ratings rose 15 percent over 2005 to a 4.5, while in
the male 18-to-34 segment, ratings jumped 17 percent to 6.2, tying a five-year high. -- David Goetzl
