After a very busy first few weeks of 2022, soccer on TV takes a little break. Meaning the painful kind of break. International games. A couple notes, however:
• The US / El Salvador match pulled a decent 727k (4th best on the year). I haven't seen the market breakout, but I suspect Columbus has a good number to help drive that.
• Liga MX Femenil with another game popping up on TUDN. It's become a regular thing. It's found a home.
• Below the weekly table will be the top soccer events on TV for the month (Jan 1-31, 2022). USA Network is strong out of the gate with the Premier League after some concern that fans might not follow the league over there after the shutdown of NBCSN.
