It was another huge weekend for European soccer on US television last weekend as many do-or-die matches were shown live across the country. Not surprisingly, there were big numbers for the Premier League and La Liga. But the Bundesliga also served up a decent number for a game shown live on the over-the-air FOX network, where the top German team won the title on live television.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, FOX Sports 2’s coverage of the other Bundesliga matches with its MultiMatch 90 service was a bust, finishing dead last.
