Spanish-language coverage of the World Cup shifts from Univision to Telemundo for Russia 2018. Last week the latter received a taste of the ratings boosts that come along with the prestigious event.
Telemundo averaged 2.49 million Hispanic viewers for a World Cup qualifier between Mexico and El Salvador on Friday, according to Nielsen, making it the No. 2 program among Latino viewers during the week ended Sept. 4.
That was behind only the finale of Univision’s “Un Camino Hacia El Destino,” which averaged 2.54 million Hispanic viewers.
In addition, a simulcast of the match on Telemundo’s sibling cable network NBC Universo averaged another 458,000 Latino viewers, making it the No. 1 total-day program of the week on Spanish-language cable.
Three separate pregame shows on the network also made the week’s top 25 on cable.
Mexico won the match 3-0 and is qualified for the six-team final round of qualifying for the CONCACAF region.
Univision leads in viewers, Telemundo in 18-49s
Meanwhile, Univision edged the competition for the week among total viewers, averaging 1.14 million. Telemundo was second at 910,000 and UniMás third at 350,000. Among the smaller networks, Estrella TV came in at 140,000, with Azteca at 80,000 and MundoMax at 40,000.
Among viewers 18-49, Telemundo was first for the week with 760,000 viewers in the demo. That was ahead of Univision’s 700,000 and UniMás’ 240,000.
None of the smaller networks averaged more than 70,000 viewers in the demo.
