Fox owns the rights to televise the World Series, although many playoff games have been on TBS. To increase ratings, the playoffs games have generally been in the evening, with the “prime” games starting about 830p.

Despite Manny Ramirez’s .520 batting average and four home runs in the post season, Los Angeles was bounced out of the National League Championship Series in 5 games by the Phillies.

The same rationale many other viewers used not to watch the third Presidential debate.
