    From numbers posted here. ABC plus OOH is higher than 1.27m, so there are clearly some problems with whatever the heck is going on here.

    No. We don’t have Canadian numbers at this point. We only have US numbers.

    You are right, it says TUDN, as in Televisa Univision Deportes Network, I first thought it was a Canada broadcaster.

    OMG! Really? MLS Cup is a nationally broadcast game. I mean, literally, local-only TV events have nothing to do with this discussion. That I didn’t specify national tv events shouldn’t have kept anyone from understanding that I was talking about national tv events. Because comparing to local-only tv events to national tv events is very apples to oranges. In this context you should not need anyone to specify national TV events.

    So, either you guys are as dumb as pet rocks or you are being deceitful in this context by pretending local-only tv events had anything to do with my discussion. It really is not an honest reply. But if you are going to pretend that my post had anything to do with local-only TV events, why not take it all the way to the house and say “all of the other 350 TV channels had programming at that time”?

    You guys are like politicians debating and one of the politicians respond with a gotcha response because her opponent didn’t word himself perfectly even though it is clear from context what her opponent said.

    Geesh.

    Lord have mercy. What day was the MLS Cup on? Sunday or Thursday? Not only are you guys going to pretend that a local-only TV event belongs in a discussion about national events, but you are going to pretend the MLS Cup was broadcast on Thursday. Wow!

    So you're now moving the goalposts to "nobody schedules against the NFL on national TV on Sundays" except WORLD SERIES GAME 5 WAS ON A SUNDAY!

    And that was just one of the things you were wrong about in your initial response (Pac-12 plays on Friday for example).

    Either admit you were wrong or STFU.

    You seem very angry. Maybe you should read it as "nobody with any sense schedules against the NFL on national TV on Sundays".

    The game 5 TV ratings were poor.

    Overall, Houston’s comfortable win delivered the fifth-lowest rating and sixth-smallest audience in World Series history. It was the lowest rated and least-watched World Series game that did not take place on a Saturday night (the least-watched night of the week).

    So 400k on digital? That seems pretty good?

    Annoyed, not angry. Annoyed that a poster that gets multiple basic facts wrong feels like he can lecture other posters on being as dumb as pet rocks without admitting his own mistakes.

    Frankly I am used to talking to people who understand the context in which subject matters are discussed. Because normal human beings don’t always qualify every statement when, otherwise, the specific qualifications are understood.
    Further that game was at 8pm. The Sunday afternoon games have far fewer neutral fans to be mined. That’s different with Thursday Night. And no one does particularly well when they are scheduled against Sunday, Monday or Thursday night games.


    Last Thursday’s NBA games drew 878k and 830k respectively. So, it’s not exactly a ringing endorsement for scheduling against the NFL.

    I just want to say that the Sunday afternoon split coverage on Fox on 11/3 attracted a combined 18.27 million. That compares to 22 million for SNF. I suspect Jets - Giants, which ran against MLS Cup, beat that even though both teams suck.

    I wonder if MLS could use CGI to fill stadiums the way EA Sports do.

    FIFA

    The least they should do is use CGI to make all those empty (distributed tickets) seats look occupied.

    I agree that putting the playoffs matches on Friday nights would be a great idea.
