Two wobbly yet popular here stateside PL clubs top the chart this week for USA Network.
Highlights/Lowlights:
1. No Club America, no big Liga MX TV number. Chivas vs. Mazatlan pulls an average-ish 631k on Saturday night.
2. Part of the lower evening ratings could be the NBA Playoffs sucking the air out of the room.
3. MLS dips below 300k again on FOX. The league has lost about 30% of its audience on both "big" FOX and FS1. Part of this audience loss is to Apple,
but MLS had lost over 10% each of the previous two seasons.
4. Liga MX ended Jan - Apr 2023 down across all their US TV networks, which are ESPND, FOXD, Universo, and TUDN.
5. The Concacaf Champions League has reached its semi-finals. The final is shock of all shocks, guaranteed to have a Liga MX v MLS final.
