Our first full week of cable TV viewership and ratings data is back and I couldn't be happier.
Mildly surprising this week was that two NBCSN studio shows landed in the top 4 shows for the middle week of August. Rounding out the top five is a Wednesday Liga MX match.
MLS had a light week this week on cable with only one game popping up in the top 150 that day. The other match that was scheduled to be on FS1 was rained out (the non-live match they showed featured neither of the teams scheduled to play and did not pull a rating).
Of note: The International Champions Cup between Lyonnais and the Portland Thorns pulled 157k on ESPN2. I know lots of people are watching how well women's European leagues do on US TV.
Over on broadcast TV:
465k: Columbus Crew v Seattle
395k: Bundesliga, Leverkusen v Monchengladbach
