"I don't know how our folks (at CBS) come off calling this the 'Game of the Week' cuz there's a much better game - Dodgers and Giants - over on NBC." - Dizzy Dean (MLBlogs Network, 'Voices of the Game', 1958, Source)

All-Star Game Television Ratings
|
 |
 |
 |
|
A breakdown by networks: forty-three All-Star Games have been televised, twenty on NBC,
thirteen on FOX, eight on ABC, and four on CBS.
The Associated Press defines a "rating" as the percentage of TV households in the United States watching a broadcast, and each national point represents 1,159,000 homes as of 2010-2011 (each year the number changes: in 2007-2008 it was 1,127,000; in 2001-2002 it was 1,055,000; in 1999-2000 it was 1,008,000). A "share" is the percentage watching a program among those households with televisions on at the time.
Utilize this chart to answer trivia questions, determine best and worst lists, and breakdown the networks, the ratings and the statistics.
