Tape-delay coverage of women's Frozen Four out-earns men's live coverage

This caught our eye, from Sports Media Watch:

The obvious caveat here is that CBS is a broadcast network and ESPN is cable. But as of February 2015, more than 80 percent of U.S. households received the World Wide Leader at home.

That's eight in 10, meaning nearly everyone who has access to CBS also has ESPN. Further, it means there are plenty of women's hockey fans out there and perhaps the time has come to televise the event live like (it seems) everything else is these days.

We certainly have proof more people watch TV than read the newspaper: The Star Tribune's Joe Christensen covered the event on March 20 in Durham, NH for print and online. But the newsroom received more than 10 phone calls March 28 after the tape-delay broadcast aired. The callers were irate we had no coverage in the Monday paper.
