Chelsea-Manchester United TV Ratings Up Slightly From First Fox Network Broadcast

NEW YORK (AP) — Manchester United's 3-3 tie with Chelsea last Sunday was seen by 1,377,000 viewers on Fox, up slightly from the network's first live Premier League broadcast two weeks earlier.

The game received a 0.8 rating and 2 share, the network said Thursday, the same as for Manchester United's 2-1 victory over Arsenal on Jan. 22. Viewers were up from 1,258,000 for the earlier telecast.

Fox's three delayed EPL broadcasts earlier this season averaged a 1.1 rating. Those matches were aired before or after NFL games, depending on the market. The two live broadcasts started at 11 a.m. EST.

The rating is the percentage of television households tuned to a broadcast, and the share is there percentage watching among the households with TVs on at the time.
