So, I was curious and had a little time to see how the Crows fared as compared to the rest of the AFL on airing live in the United States. I broke it down some as well. These figures are of course unofficial, but I did my best to be accurate.
First, some general thoughts---the Crows aired live 14 times in the USA. That put them in a tie for 6th overall. In the USA, the stations can be thought of as being "tiered" in how many homes have a particular station. That "tier" in order of homes reached is: FoxSports1--FoxSports2--Fox Soccer Plus. The Crows aired on Fox Sports1 a total of 4 times, ranking tied for 4th. We aired only 3 times on Fox Sports2, ranking tied for 7th. We aired 7 times on Fox Soccer Plus, ranking tied for 5th.
Admit to being very surprised to see that Richmond took top spot with 18 live appearances.
Hawthorn made as many appearances on Fox Sports 1 as Essendon.
Finally, that other team that I think is around somewhere in SA aired 11 times, but hey, they almost aired as many times as the 17th place team (Fremantle) on the ladder--so they have that going for them, which I am sure is nice.
Here are the numbers for total appearances and Fox Sports1:
