Fox says US-Bosnia World Cup match was most-watched soccer telecast in English
in country's history
By The Associated Press
Fox said Monday the U.S. match against Bosnia-Herzegovina at the World Cup was
viewed by nearly 26.4 million people, making it the most-watched
English-language soccer telecast in the country's history.
The U.S. beat Bosnia 2-0 on Wednesday night in the first round of the knockout
stage to reach the round of 16.
It was the most-watched program on any network since the Super Bowl on Feb. 8
between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots.
Fox says its audience peaked at over 34.8 million between 9:45 p.m. and 10 p.m.
EDT. Kansas City, Missouri; Boston; St. Louis; San Francisco; and Austin,
Texas, were the top local markets.
