The Hartford-New Haven Designated Market Area (DMA) is ranked No. 30 in the country by Nielsen, with 996,500 TV homes. At No. 48, Louisville has 670,880 TV homes.
That's more than 300,000 more TV homes, which equals revenue.
"These decisions are being driven by media and by business," said New York-based sports media analyst Lee Berke, president & CEO of LHB Sports. "It's driven by media revenues, by network negotiations, by network development. The shear size of a media market factors into the influence that people have in a particular market factors into it. … UConn has a substantial presence in the market."
Great work by Doyle. No way around this one. More tv's, more affluence, and keeps NYC in play. Sucks to be on the other side of ESPN in conference expansion, but that is Louisville's fault.
