FS1's WWC game (USA-Australia) beat NBCSN's Stanley Cup Finals in 8 of top 10 metered markets, including NHL cities LA, Philly, Dallas, DC.

Fox Sports 1 and AT&T continue their adolescent spat, denying fans USMNT soccer, among other marque events. Both Fox Sports and ATT should be ashamed on how they are treating their paying customers. ENOUGH already. Last year they blacked out many key Big East conference games and the blackouts continue. I really don't want to watch the World Dart Tourney when the USMNT is playing an important friendly against Germany. If you two can't figure this out, how about relinquishing the rights to important sports events to those companies that care about customers.

Just looking only 2 more games possibly on FS1 for the US team- both their other pool games are on Big Fox, and then if they win the pool, only the round of 16 game would be on FS1. The quarters/semi/final would be all on Big Fox.

Fox has to be rooting for the US though to win the pool regardless. Otherwise the rd of 16 game would almost surely be vs Brazil, something that wouldn't be good for the tourney at all.

FS1's USA-Germany friendly averaged 668K viewers yesterday; ESPN's Orioles-Red Sox averaged 620K.

Soccer continuing to prove to be a key piece of FS1's development going forward.

Saw some graphics and stuff regarding next week's U.S. Open that got me really excited to see the overall golf presentation.

Yeah, US Open should bring some nice ratings as well.

Was just about to post this. Says it's for $1-3 million/year. VCU signed a deal for $20 million over 10 years with Leerfield sports, does anyone know how that stacks up against other basketball schools' deals?

Fox gets unlucky with the US Open with Tiger and McElroy bombing out and almost certainly out over the weekend now.

What does everyone think of FOX and FS1's coverage of the U.S. Open? I think it's actually pretty good. Graphics are tastefully done. Commentary is fine. The use of shot tracker is not excessive. Good camera angles for the most part. It is quite weird to hear Joe Buck talking golf, though.
