5x expanded by SounderBruce (talk). Number of QPQs required: 2. DYK is currently in unreviewed backlog mode and nominator has 244 past nominations.

QPQs done. Since the game just happened and I'm just not seeing these hooks as all that great, maybe replace them with an ALT3 incorporating information from the game. Other than that, I'm fairly confident that this is good to go. ~ 23:45, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Pbritti: A new ALT2 and ALT3 have been added; the article is still being expanded, so I may have more hooks a bit later. Sounder Bruce 02:55, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Looks good, particularly approve of ALT3. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:01, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MLS Cup 2024 viewership

There are average of 533,000 viewers who watch MLS Cup 2024 which includes FOX number is 427,000, Fox Deportes number is 41,000 and Apple TV (MLS Season Pass) number are averagely 65,000 viewers according to Nielsen. As a result, we determine that whether we put Apple viewership number on MLS Cup 2024 wiki or not because Apple number still unknown until MLS or Apple tell the true number of viewership. If true that Apple number are 65,000, combining with linear TV average of 468,000 equal to 533,000 viewers means the lowest MLS Cup viewership in league history.

There is no reliable source that is reporting that figure. Apple does not release their viewership numbers and probably won't have anything concrete for a long time. Sounder Bruce 21:13, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
