Revenues can, and do, rise even while ratings may be down when the programming is bringing in a greater share than all other programming on at the same time. "Raw" viewer numbers are fine and how the viewership should be measured. Now go a step further and compare those "raw" numbers to the "raw" numbers for all other programming in the same windows. |

Re: Wow, this is the quietest I've seen this forum after a win
Paid TV has been steadily declining for years. When the new ATSC 3.0 (antenna TV) is in full force it will do a few things. Establish a la carte for anything, create a lot more free channels in 4K and better sound and free TV can be watched from anywhere on any device.
The era of cable TV is dying. The way revenue is generated for sports is going to change drastically. Already starting to see it with sports a la carte on Amazon Prime. People won't be paying $100 or more a month for cable for channels they do not want. |

To be fair, they are already doing that by starting their own streaming services.

A la carte channels is what is most wanted and will best represent free market come to broadcast entertainment... |

Re: Wow, this is the quietest I've seen this forum after a win
I didn’t watch the game against the Lions because I had family stuff to do... But I’m going to be honest here... I’m really not enjoying this season at all. The cognitive dissonance that it takes is incredible to have fake crowd noise that doesn’t change when the home team makes a big play. This crap is garbage.
Plus, I’ve heard whispers from a starter on the defense that they didn’t take training for this season seriously due to all the COVID stuff. Payton cancelling any OTA’s certainly didn’t help. Did you really think players were actually going to show up to training camp in great shape?! |

This season kinda reminds me of the strike season.

This season is up for grabs for anyone who gets into the post season with all the off season issues.
2 big teams like GB and KC is probably going to go colder as season progresses. Hot starts at the beginning of the season never materializes to anything but failure in the end. |

I’ve been silent since lockdown. I watch. But feel mildly guilty about doing so.
