It's dreadful if you're hoping to expand your footprint for a network - the state is obviously basketball-crazy, but you're splitting a relatively small area between Kentucky and Louisville.
Louisville ranks No. 48 among Nielsen markets, and the Cardinals do not own all of that. There is a substantial penetration of Kentucky fans in the city and its suburbs. When The Courier-Journal surveyed Louisville residents in 2005 regarding their favorite team, 33 percent chose UK and 57 percent went for the Cardinals. You know what 57 percent of the No. 48 market is? It’s Shreveport. -- Sporting News
