The least viewed MLS Championship ever
http://worldsoccertalk.com/2013/12/1...-mls-cup-ever/



Saturday’s live broadcast of the 2013 MLS Cup on ESPN had an average viewing audience of 505,000, which is the least-viewed MLS Cup ever on English-language television.
The previous record low was the 748,000 viewers who watched the 2010 MLS Cup between Colorado Rapids and FC Dallas. That game had a 0.44 TV rating, but the viewing audience was greater than the 2013 MLS Cup due to the 2010 game being shown at night instead of the 4pm ET broadcast between Sporting KC-Real Salt Lake.
The 2012 MLS Cup between between LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo had a 0.7 TV rating and was viewed by an average of 797,000 people. The 2013 MLS Cup viewership was down 44% from 2012.
The disappointing 505,000 viewing audience figure for the Sporting Kansas City against Real Salt Lake game follows the 29% decline in regular season MLS TV ratings on ESPN compared to last year, as well as a 8% decline on NBCSN.
The 505,000 number is the same as the viewing audience for a repeat of Everybody Loves Raymond, which was shown on TBS at the same time as the second half of the 2013 MLS Cup. In contrast, 514,000 viewers watched MLS Cup 2013 on UniMas.
In comparison to Premier League matches, the 505,000 people who watched MLS Cup 2013 was fewer than the 507,000 who watched Chelsea-Southampton on Sunday, December 1 at 11am ET on NBCSN but slightly greater than the 499,000 viewers who watched Arsenal versus Everton (played on Sunday at 11am ET on NBCSN).
Read: Why Major League Soccer Has Bigger Issues Than Just Poor TV Ratings
TV ratings for MLS’s premier game, MLS Cup, from 1996 to 2013 are:
0.5 2013: *Sporting Kansas City-Real Salt Lake (ESPN)
0.7 2012: Los Angeles-Houston (ESPN)
0.8 2011: Los Angeles-Houston (ESPN)
0.4 2010: Colorado-FC Dallas (ESPN)
0.8 2009: Real Salt Lake-Los Angeles (ESPN)
0.6 2008: Columbus-New York (ABC)
0.8 2007: Houston-New England (ABC)
0.8 2006: Houston-New England (ABC)
0.8 2005: Los Angeles-New England (ABC)
0.8 2004: D.C. United-Kansas City (ABC)

Embrace it you morons. Unless you think the Chiefs or Royals are going to make any championship runs, it's all we have to hang our hat on.
Why should a non fan embrace it? If the Chiefs or a Royals won a title, I wouldn't parade around trying to convince a non baseball or football fan to embrace it.

If your a Sporting fan, wonderful! Good for you guys. If your a non soccer fan, then just ignore it. It should have zero effect on your life.

You've been doing a fantastic job of ignoring it in every SKC thread.

Where have I ever said I wasn't a fan? Show me? You have just assumed.

I've just pointed out areas they are weak or could do better.

You are not a soccer or SKC fan, of this I'm sure.

C'mon DaFace. Quick retraction.

Because some guy butt hurt after Chiefs losses that doesn't really know about the sport or league will make them a lot better.

It would have drawn a bigger audience if scheduled differently.

The time between the conference championship and MLS Cup was extraordinarily long because of International play including World Cup qualifying matches.

Aside from the college championships, I think more fans in other MLS cities would have watched if not for the long time between the conference championship and the MLS cup.

This makes a lot of sense. I am sure a lot of casual observers who were paying attention to the prior rounds lost interest or just plain forgot with such a big time lapse.

Having said all that anyone who has been reading my posts when these discussions come up already know that TV ratings are absolutely the last piece to the puzzle that MLS has not figured out. Every other metric is going well...it is a very healthy expanding league but the ratings are not there.

Next year it will be interesting to see what comes from a more consistent slot on what I think will be Friday nights.

Never needed to be the league to be the most popular on TV. NFL is much much better at being made to be vehicle for TV revenue where with soccer you get two 45 min runs of uninterrupted sports.
If they are going to go so far into football season, playing on Friday consistently instead of Saturday would be a big help. It would kind of be a kickoff to the sports weekend.

This is a solid point here. TV ratings are not nearly as relevant as marketers think, especially for niche sporting events. The viewing "channels", may not be channels at all.

You are absolutely wrong about it not being hipsters. It mostly is and its spearheaded by people like 96.5 the buzz and dumbasses like lazlo. All of those people have hipster followers.
Their fan base consists mostly of young professional people.

It seems they haven't yet converted window-licking morons, which is why you are still on the sidelines.

Based on the fact that you troll every thread about them, I would think it's a pretty good assumption

C'mon, we all know Deberg's heart is in the right place.

When he's throwing out WNBA viewership numbers it's because he just wants SKC to succeed.
