I don't know about the actual numbers but there was talk several years ago that baseball was becoming a "regional sport" whereas the NFL and NBA were "national sports" where people watched more games than just their home team on their regional sports network. The reduction in game times and other rule changes seem to have reversed the trend in certain ways. The NBA still makes almost double the revenue of baseball on a per-game basis.
