A 5.2 rating is equivalent to over 5.5 million households, or around 13 million viewers.
Add to that another 3-5 million viewers on Univision!
It's higher ratings for the NHL Finals, that's for sure.
BTW Go Oilers!
Yeah, but 90% of them don't show up in the official population surveys. :)

BRISTOL, Conn. (June 16) - The ratings for the first 14 World Cup games on ESPN2 have more than doubled from four years ago.
The network averaged a 1.3 over the first 14 games, as opposed to an 0.6 from 2002. Those games were aired in the middle of the night because of the tournament being held in South Korea and Japan. This year's World Cup is in Germany, meaning the games are on early in the morning or the early afternoon.
ABC broadcast three games from the tournament's opening weekend. The network's broadcasts last weekend, none of which included the U.S. team, drew an average overnight rating of 2.8, a 65 percent increase over the network's average from two matches during the opening weekend of the 2002 World Cup.
