According a press release from Major League Baseball, the 2009 World Series was broadcast by 54 of MLB’s international radio and television partners. That spans 15 languages and 233 countries and territories and the viewership was up big from 2008.
In Japan, live ratings were up 101 percent on NHK BS thanks to the Yankees' Hideki Matsui.
In Panama, average ratings were up 101 percent on RPC and 40 percent on TV Max. That’s the Mariano Rivera factor.
In Korea, home of Phillies reliever Chan-Ho Park, ratings were up 73 percent on OBS.
In the Dominican Republic, average ratings were up 46% on CDN. In Canada, live ratings were up 65% on Rogers Sportsnet. In Mexico, average ratings were up 22% on Televisa.

Hey there Phanatic.... Here in Paris we watched live over ESPN on the net. Crystal clear and terribly sad for the Phillies....but a good series all the same... from the Old World.
Best,
