Los Angeles, CA -- On Thursday, November 30th, TeleFutura KFTR's Fútbol Liga Mexicana semifinal match between fierce rivals Chivas of Guadalajara and América of Mexico City delivered over half a million viewers 2+, beating ABC’s “Ugly Betty”, CBS’ “Survivor” and “CSI”, and NBC’s “E.R.”  TeleFutura’s achievement is even more impressive on the already competitive Thursday night line-up, given that these English-language networks all aired original programming.
