Club America on Univision edges out the Premier League.
Highlights/Lowlights:
• Housekeeping: I've highlighted combined numbers with yellow under "Network."
• The tight race at the top of the PL table has pushed NBC to +9% YOY through calendar week 15.
• Liga MX remains down -10% YOY.
• She Belives Cup match between USA and Canda does well comparatively, for this tournament on TBS. Pulling pre/post games numbers are also a good sign.
• MLS posts an all-time low on FOX. Not just for the league but for a live event on broadcast in general.
• MLS recovered a bit on Sunday, but is down a surprising -20% YOY (last year was also on Season Pass).
