In the 1992–93 season, ABC televised five weekly playoff telecasts[1] (the first three weeks were regional coverage of various games and two national games)[2][3] on Sunday afternoons starting on April 18.[4] In the 1993–94 season, ABC televised six[5] weekly regional telecasts[6][7] on Sunday afternoons beginning in March[8] (or the last three Sundays[9] of the regular season). ABC then televised three weeks worth of playoff games on first three Sundays.[10]
Overall, ABC averaged a 1.7 rating[11][12][13][14] for those two seasons.
