The big news this week is that MLS has found a partner in regard to TV media rights. Apple will be powering MLS media for a decade starting next year. I'll have a post with my thoughts separate from my weekly numbers.
Highlights/Lowlights:
• MLS tops the table during an international break by sneaking in a couple games on ABC. These games did not pull a rating on ESPN Deportes.
• MLS only has a handful of games left on ABC and FOX this year.
• The UEFA Nations League on FS1 is chugging along. Hard to imagine ESPN not doubling these numbers easily if they had them.
