viable asset in cable tv, the most expensive channel in the pay tv bundle by far, but according to nielsen espn has lost about 3 million subscribers in the past year as more people cut the cord or opt for lower priced pay tv packages. we spoke to nba commissioner adam silver who says they're hedging against the trend by selling games direct to consumers through the nba league pass by locking down contracts with the likes of disney. >> in terms of cord cutting i'm not all that concerned yet. it's something we're watching closely and obviously one of the reasons we just renewed long term with disney and time warner is to protect somewhat against that. hopefully from their standpoint there will be less cord cutting because as long as we insist on authenticated subscribers it's the only way our customers are going to get our premier product. >> silver tells us he's carefully watching yahoo!'s partnership with the nfl to live-stream one of its games. we'll have to see if whether all these new ways to access premium sports content such as on yahoo! is making the pay tv bundle less attractive. me

ac nielsen, the television ratings company confirming this was the most-watched soccer game in the historyelevision. 25 million people on average watching this game. at its peak 30 million folks watching this game. that's more than the games in the nba final series more also than game seven of the world series. so really some record-setting action going on. we have heard similar numbers for france and china and other places in europe. >> you better recognize that this is really a growing sport. so alan look we have seen some record- record-setting performances. are people talking about what this could mean for women's soccer? >> reporter: absolutely. there's certainly a hope among those who run the sport professionally in the u.s. and those who play it the players we talked to today, who hope this can give a real bump in the steak -- stakes. the national association averages about 4,000 fans in the seats. the owner of the seattle rain says they are hoping to get a bump off of this world cup, but that really remains to be seen whether that can be translated into stable long-standing games f

youtube, of course, does not disclose its revenue figures but according to nielsen the site reaches moreto 49 than any cable network in the united states. carl, that was a point that was brought up on the conference call last week by the chief business officer at google. one stat they did not say anything about when asked was whether youtube is profitable. >> which we might find out more about later. we'll see. i think it's interesting google and amazon are starting to hint they're going to give us more granularity on the metrics over the coming quarters. that will be good for some investors. europe will close in about six minutes or so. simon is back at post 9. >> this is the nooininth consece day of gains. 9% gains in nine sessions. the coast is clear as far as many people are concerned with greece. a lot of the nordic regions have done well. if you were to look at one other group standing out i guess it would be the italian banks, upgraded today by bank of america to a buy or reinstated as a buy. you can see it's going to 4% there. the other thing that's happening is as things get eas

and that is not good for any industry but the thing that i most passionate about, i actually think nielsen will get it right and i actually think average quarter hour rating points, not share. share is kind of meaningless in the big picture but average quarter hour rating points for broadcast radio will increase in the next few years, that will be great for business. >> thank you. alan colmes, colin kook craig schwab julie talbot, let's have lunch.
