The Sked: World Series Delayed

Pretend this photo was taken in St Louis
Mother Nature, indeed, is delaying the World Series tonight in St Louis.  Game 6 has been moved to Thursday.  The weather in St Louis Thursday night is forecast to be clear, with a low in the mid-30s.  Light wind.  FOX will air repeats of Glee tonight. 


If St Louis wins Thursday and forces a Game 7, it will be played Friday night at 8 pm ET.  Friday night's forecast: mostly clear, low also in the mid-30s, and windier -- about 10 mph.  The ratings for a Game 7 will be fine in St Louis and Dallas (a combined 3.34% of the country).  But in the other 96%+ of the country without a home team, there will be little interest in changing plans to stay home.  The lower television usage level on Friday night while probably shave about 1.5 18-49 rating points off the number.  FOX just can't catch a break with this postseason.  Neither can NBC potentially.  The return of the final season of Chuck and the series debut of Grimm would face Game 7 (even a diminished Game 7 is still a decent rating), if it is necessary.
