Cord-Cutting Continues?

According to a report from AdAge, every single network drama that aired on Tuesday night experienced a double-digit decline in ratings. And aside from a decent showing from The Muppets, the report relays that there have been few bright spots to the start of this year's fall TV lineup.

[...] All told, cumulative viewership during "Premiere Week", as it's called, is down 8% compared to the same period a year-ago. More worrisome for TV networks is that viewership from the highly sought-after 18-24 demographic is down 20% year over year, with male viewership within that demographic falling by 24%.

Males in the 18-24 demographic are the most coveted in advertising because that's when studies show brand preferences are formed. 24% is a catastrophic decline for TV.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but the "conservative mind" really is different than that of a liberal mind. You might read Vox Day's writing, beginning with 'SJW's always lie'. Sometimes, I'm surprised that the two can interbreed.

    Anyone who thinks that a tv show which convinced millions of bigots to reconsider their bigotry was a bad thing is either insane or profoundly evil. There is no place in the world for someone like that.

      I might suggest that you go back and actually READ MY POSTS. Nowhere did I use the words "bad thing". The worst thing I said about the show is, it was so much mindless drivel. Like all other sitcoms, it's aimed at the Lowest Common Denominator. People with the IQ of a turnip could watch it and be amused. Most people with IQ's at least as high as a household pet have to use mental tricks to get down on that level. Pretty much everything that comes out of Hollyweird is aimed at that Lowest Common Denominator.
