People in Portland and New York City will have the option to listen to their local radio broadcast of the MLS Cup final.
TSN averaged 748,000 MLS Cup viewers, while ABC averaged 823,000.
The MLS Cup was previously held in December on Saturdays without much sports competition. But moving it up a month meant that it had to shift to Sunday to not conflict with ESPN college football coverage, and that saw it go head-to-head with the NFL.
This year's final saw a 91 percent increase over last year.
