ESPNs streaming service, WatchESPN, hit a record concurrent viewership of 1.7 million people yesterday during the second half of the USAs World Cup game against Germany. The previous record was set by Super Bowl XLVIII, which hit a peak concurrent viewership of 1.1 million on Foxs streaming service, Fox Sports Go, earlier this year. The previous USA match was one of ESPNs most-watched programs of all time Pete Vlastelica, head of Fox Sports digital division, also pointed out that the Super Bowl — the first big event to be streamed on Fox Sports Go — was not available to watch on mobile devices, cutting down on the number of potential viewers.
