Over here, ESPN (used to be Fox, there's been a takeover that actually completed ) more than 1.5M watched Ajax-PSV on Sunday. That's 1-% of the population.
Imagine that should be 10%, MA. I’m never quite sure how they arrive at such figures. Easy to understand how many TV sets were tuned to ESPN but there may have been two or three times as many people watching which obviously translates to a much bigger % of the population.
In the UK tonight I think it’s possible to watch live Premier League coverage from 5.30 pm to 10.15 just on Sky. A delight for some and misery for others I suppose. Loads more ‘pacifying’ matches on throughout the week although there’s some ‘class’ on Sky, for those who are struggling, tomorrow evening...Leeds v Derby 2019.
