For the second week in a row, their audiences dwarfed those of Skip Bayless’ rival “Undisputed Live” on FS1.
On Monday, after the first weekend of the NFL season, “First Take” posted 626,000 viewers to 185,000 for “Undisputed.”
On Tuesday, the day after Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending injury, “First Take” drew 717,000 viewers compared to 118,000 for “Undisputed.”
