Remember yesterday, when Tuesday's game was almost the biggest game in Fox Sports Midwest history?  Yeah, it got bumped.


WEDNESDAY'S CARDINALS GAME SETS FOX SPORTS MIDWEST RATINGS RECORD

Wednesday's Cardinals game was the highest-rated event ever on FOX Sports Midwest, as the Cardinals beat Houston 8-0 in the final game of the regular season and later clinched the National League wild card. Wednesday's telecast generated an 18.0 household rating in the St. Louis DMA, according to Nielsen Media Research. 

The Cardinals Live postgame show continued after the game with a combination of live scenes and interviews from the Cardinals clubhouse in Houston and updates from the Philadelphia-Atlanta game. FOX Sports Midwest was live in the locker room as players celebrated their wild card berth. Cardinals Live Postgame ran for more than two hours and produced a 7.2 rating. Cardinals Live pregame generated a 3.7, ranking second in its 6:30 p.m. time slot.

FOX Sports Midwest was the highest-rated channel in prime time in St. Louis for the 74th night this season. 

Cardinals games (148) on FOX Sports Midwest averaged a 9.0 rating in 2011, second in MLB to the Phillies. Cardinals local market TV ratings have ranked in the top three in MLB every year since 2000. 

FOX Sports Midwest's coverage will continue during the postseason with postgame shows immediately following Cardinals playoff games. 

The previous all-time high rating on FOX Sports Midwest was a 17.6 for the Aug. 10, 2010 Cards game at Cincinnati in which the teams brawled in the first inning. Tuesday's comeback win at Houston now ranks third at 16.5. 

Top-rated Cardinals games on FOX Sports Midwest 
1. 18.0 Sept. 28, 2011 Cardinals at Astros (Cards win 8-0 in game 162; later clinch wild card)
