I'm surprised that Manchester United got more viewers against Manchester City than against Real Madrid.
I bet looking at the audience total with Deportes would tip it in the other direction. Also United-City was the first of the series, with a nationally attractive Thursday 7PM Pacific kickoff.

Just for the heck of it, I took a look to see how west coast college basketball does with 11pm ET tip on ESPN2 (only thing I can think of that gets that slot).

Boxing is also held on Saturday night, and gets much better ratings than soccer. If Fox and ESPN showed more consecutive MLS matches, they would be easier to find. But of course, college football is about to start...

Early numbers show that the Saturday 10AM ET match on NBCSN is up vs previous seasons. So that could be a small win for NBC's Gold strategy (from the business side, still crap from the PR side).
