Good morning. It’s Tuesday, July 9, 2013, and this is your first early morning Sports briefing.
Wimbledon dropped a set this weekend, with coverage of both the Gentlemen’s and Ladies’ Championships taking a slide in year-to-year comparisons. That said, both matches still ranked as two of ESPN’s largest tennis audiences in channel history. Andy Murray’s victory in the Gentlemen’s Championship drew a 1.7 Fast National US rating, according to Nielsen, representing an average of 2,456,000 viewers and marking the second largest audience in ESPN tennis history. Still, that number was off 32% y-t-y. Saturday’s telecast of the Ladies’ Championship-featuring two lesser known players-plus the Gentlemen’s Doubles Championship drew a 0.9 rating for the five-hour telecast, down 18%.
Usage of the WatchESPN app throughout the entire tournament was up 274% in live minutes viewed, while the average number of daily spiked 89%, while minutes per viewer via the app more than doubled, up 110%.

On the local front, the Mexico/Panama ranks as the highest viewed broadcast station during the time period among total viewers in Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas and San Francisco.
Golf Channel continues to blaze records, announcing that second quarter of 2013 ranked as the most-watched second quarter in network history, delivering nearly 29 million unique viewers. The network scored 124,000 average viewers per minute in 24-hour Total Day tallies, for a jump of 8% of the same quarter in 2012, according to Nielsen.
While we are talking golf, NBC is set to cover the 2013 U.S. Senior Open Championship with third and final-round coverage airing July 13-14. The network will carry three hours (3-6 p.m. ET) of live coverage on Saturday and Sunday preceded by a 30-minute Golf central pre-game show at 2:30p. Golf Channel on NBC’s weekend U.S. Senior Open coverage will be anchored by Dan Hicks and Johnny Miller, who will be joined by tower reporters Gary Koch and Mark Rolfing, and on-course reporters Roger Maltbie and Notah Begay.
MLB announced that recent American Idol winner Candice Glover will perform the national anthem before the league’s All-Star game at Citi Field. Marc Anthony will sing “God Bless America” during the seventh inning on July 16. The league also revealed that Pitbull will perform ahead of the Home Run Derby on July 15.
