TUF 23 Episode 10 draws low ratings due to soccer

June 23, 2016 by Jason Cruz 4 Comments

The Ultimate Fighter Wednesday night was pushed back and moved to FS2 due to the Copa America soccer match delay.  On FS2 it just generated 43,000 viewers per Sports TV Ratings.

It aired from 11-12am on FS2 and drew 27,000 in the Adult 18-49 range.

This was probably not the best time for the sudden time change since the first semifinal was aired on Wednesday.

Payout Perspective:

Not a lot that could be done for this episode since it was moved last minute.  Even DVR viewership may not help since everyone recorded soccer instead of TUF.

    F the world, American Football is still ace. Haven’t seen a soccer game pull over a 100 million viewers.
