Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3595439, member: 1769"] Those figures come directly from Abdo who also said that the ratings for the first game were 3 times higher than the most watched games on Fox Sports over the past 3 years ... now if He is talking about Fox Sports in Australia, then they are seriously overpaying for the TV rights, lol [B]Andrew Abdo Said:[/B] “We had a 61,000 average viewership on Fox Sports 1 for the first game, which was more than one-third of the marquee college basketball clash between Xavier and Georgetown which preceded our games,” said NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo. “That figure also compares to some US Major League Soccer games on Fox Sports 1. “The second game attracted an average audience of 44,000. These are the two most watched NRL matches in the US on record. “The audience of the first game was three times higher than the most watched NRL games on Fox Sports in the past three seasons and over 280 per cent higher than the most recent Saturday games on Fox Sports 1. “These are positive signs in the first year of the long term venture.” [/QUOTE]
