They are switching to main ESPN channels this week after only being on FX last week.
Trying to boost the numbers.
This is game week 4 and ESPN is probably a pay subscription channel in USA. That limits boosting numbers. I checked what live audiences have been like and which direction they are headed. Of 12 games, 10 were below 13K, 1 game at 16K and 1 at 24K ( week one ). Two games were below 6050 ( Vipers ) .
Seattle Dragons vs Vegas Vipers ? FX ? 528,000 avg. viewers, 0.29 rating
St. Louis Battlehawks vs D.C. Defenders ? FX ? 665,000 avg. viewers, 0.36 rating
Orlando Guardians vs Arlington Renegades ? FX ? 550,000 avg. viewers, 0.33 rating
San Antonio Brahmas vs Houston Roughnecks ? ESPN2 ? 543,000 avg. viewers, 0.32
Trending downwards. Some of the week 1 tickets might have been given away to increase audience but I can't confirm that. Will check after this week to see any new trend.
