Here's   the Apple TV Plus  Score graphic for Major League Soccer 

These graphics aren't bad, actually, they are quite good and very much in-line with Apple's own minimalistic atheistic. Worth noting production and technical are being handled by NEP Studios from New York, Fort Lauderdale, Dallas and DC. Even the set looks quite Apple-style:

The first reviews came in: they are generally favorable. Praise has been given in the sense of many of the selections for studio hosts and match commentators and the high technical and production quality of the live telecasts, but irks with studio shows (including the punditry going overboard in The View style) and some of the match commentary (which tries to imitate the high-energy and extremely euphoric Latin American commentary style popularised in the US by Andrés Cantor, instead of going for the more sober British styling) need to be addressed.

Back to the RSN bubble burst, seems like Scripps' new Sports division is the biggest winner out there:

With the clock running on the grace period started when regional sports network operator Diamond Sports Group skipped a payment on its debt, “the phone has already been ringing off the hook” at Scripps Sports, according to E.W. Scripps CEO Adam Symson.

“I gotta say as we sit here today witnessing the implosion of the RSN business model . . . Scripps Sports has been getting a very warm reception in the marketplace,” Symson said on Scripps’s fourth-quarter earnings call Friday.

Here's a conversation from earlier this year with division CEO Brian Lawlor from TVNewsCheck, including a long discussion on the division's longterm plans and how it plans to leverage the Ion Television network and its Local Media offerings.
