Telemundo’s World Cup coverage over the past four weeks has set numerous viewership records for NBCUniversal’s Spanish-language network. But two days in particular stand out to Miguel Lorenzo, senior VP of sports content and production for NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises.
The July 5 match that saw Mexico knocked out of the tournament by England ranks as the most-watched telecast of all time, bar none, for Spanish-language TV in the U.S., per Lorenzo and NBCUniversal research. The game drew 23.2 million viewers over the Independence Day holiday weekend.
