With the first round all-but-over, NBC Sports Network has continued to see solid gains in viewership for coverage of the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Through Sunday, coverage of the Stanley Cup Playoffs averaged 691,000 viewers on NBC Sports Network, up 17% from last year (591K).
The double-digit gain comes despite NBC Sports Network having to compete with concurrent playoff action on CNBC and, to a lesser extent, NHL Network.
