BCA OPEN 9-Ball Championships Rosters

BCA OPEN 9-Ball Championships Rosters Since the BCA OPEN 9-Ball Championships first began airing on ESPN in 1999, it earned a then-record 64 hours of airtime in 2003 and only recently surpassed that benchmark with 65 hours scheduled to date for the 2004 event segments. Of the current hours, viewer ratings have jumped from a .29 average rating (253,469 households) for the debut showings of all four rounds in June, to a peak of .49 (431,161) for a single showing of the men’s final in mid-July. ESPN’s benchmark rating average for all taped sporting events is .20, making billiards a market standout for both the channel and official BCA sponsors, who win big with a high return on their ad investment. Official sponsors may display their company name, logo, phone number and/or website URL in rotating arena banners, just like those used by the NBA in pro basketball games. But unlike 30-second commercial spots, these banners cannot be edited out of footage, assuring each sponsor an equal amount of rotational time to present their message to millions of billiard fans on ESPN and ESPN2.
