About 15 yrs ago I worked at a station that carried both the Sox & 
Bruins.  They came close to covering the entire year's operating expenses 
with the Sox, but the Bruins were a tough sell...I'd say only half sold at 
best.  Dunno about ratings...at the time this market had only one book 
(spring) a year.

Judging by the rather pitiful affiliate list you posted it seems things 
haven't changed much.
