F1 American Explosion: Another Record Falls in Canada, Proving the Hype is Real
There are a growing number of F1 fanatics in the United States, with more and more of you climbing on board each week. If you've been following the Formula 1 season, you know the buzz around its growth in the U.S. is palpable. Well, guess what? The latest television viewership numbers from the Canadian Grand Prix are in, and they're not just good – they're record-breaking, adding yet another bullet point to the undeniable story of F1's booming popularity stateside. Advertisement Related: Final F1 movie trailer ignites anticipation ahead of June release Canadian Grand Prix sets new record for viewers in the U.S. Credit: David Kirouac-Imagn Images The recent race in Montreal, broadcast live on ABC on Sunday, June 15, pulled in an astonishing 1.9 million viewers for the race-only portion. That's not just a significant number, it's the largest audience ever for the Canadian Grand Prix on U.S. television, even surpassing last year's record of 1.8 million. And for those tracking the future of the sport, the demographic numbers are equally encouraging, with 854,000 viewers in the crucial 18-49 age bracket tuning in. Even Saturday's qualifying session on ESPN2 snagged a respectable 593,000 viewers. This success wasn't a fluke. The favorable North American time slot, kicking off at 2 PM Eastern Daylight Time, meant many U.S. fans could watch the high-octane action in prime daylight hours, without setting early alarms or staying up late. This accessible timing, combined with the exciting on-track action, clearly resonated with American audiences.

Travis Kelce Reveals Major Challenge in Personal and Professional Life
Travis Kelce Reveals Major Challenge in Personal and Professional Life originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Travis Kelce can in interviews alternate back-and-forth between being charming and funny and self-effacing… And smart. The Kansas City Chiefs superstar was interviewed recently on the 'Bussin' with the Boys' podcast, and he found himself talking about how the most difficult thing about hosting "SNL,'' as he recently did with great comedic success, is what is called the pre-show "table read.'' It's part of the weekly prep, and per reviews of Kelce working as the host for the 14th episode of season 48, it was a "Saturday Night Live'' hit. And as Kelce gradually shifts from the NFL to the entertainment world - with guidance no doubt from pop icon girlfriend Talyor Swift - he enjoyed the work. Or, rather, most of it. 'The writers' rooms were fun because you're just getting pitched ideas,'' he said. But ... "The table reading, for a guy that can't really read that well, it was kind of a (expletive) situation.' Kelce stated. 'I felt like I was just trying to get through the reading instead of actually acting it out and giving it a voice and giving it a character and things like that. "I was just focused on, 'Don't (expletive) skip this line.'' As far as fans of the Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Famer are concerned, Kelce seems to be able to master any number of tasks with ease. But ... is reading really a relative struggle for him? Even if he's being a bit modest, it's a revelation that might also count as an inspiration for young people who might have their own struggles. And Kelce is certainly making it work now as he is making a stunningly strong transition into Hollywood the last few years, achieving a role in the FX's series 'Grotesquerie,' and an even bigger and more high-profile 'Happy Gilmore' sequel in which he will play a role with his acting buddy Adam story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 3, 2025, where it first appeared.
