Based on the awfully low tv ratings on Fox Sports free to air last season, this year the only way for potential US audiences to watch will be on pay tv Fox Sports 1 & 2 channels.
Apparently ticket sales well down on last season too.
Fox Sports dumps free to air NRL Las Vegas coverage

yeah - I think such things have a natural life. But so far it has been an amazing success you would have to agree.

Re: Fox Sports dumps free to air NRL Las Vegas coverage
i do not find it bad that NRL has been relegated to FOX SPORTS 1 in the USA
they will privatize there local sports like the NBA for example over RL
just like we would in Australia
Last year was a one off which got almost 500k on FTA excluding streaming
with a NBA match on at the same time rating 1.2mill
in my books that is a good result.
now with it being on FS1 it will rate lower but will still be shown in PRIME TIME>

Re: Fox Sports dumps free to air NRL Las Vegas coverage
the NRL figures! and we all know they to double and triple count crowds.
were not the official numbers released from the stadium greatly different from the NRLs numbers after the triple counting?
