Declining NFL television ratings will lower CBS earnings, according to Credit Suisse.
The firm cut its third-quarter EPS estimates by 5 percent, citing CBS' softer Sunday NFL ratings. The media company reports on Nov. 2.
"We expect third-quarter network advertising to decline 3 percent (previously +1 percent), driven by soft ratings for both the summer schedule and for the start of the NFL season," wrote Credit Suisse analyst Omar Sheikh. "With only one of the three content licensing deals we expected for the second half announced in third quarter, we also expect content licensing revenue growth to be skewed to the fourth quarter."

When the salary cap goes down because of decreased league revenue, the players will realize protesting the country was not in their financial interest.

Die, NFL. Die.
Die, NBA. Die.
I won’t miss either of them. Because I’m not watching them now, either.

CBS executives and board members have a fiduciary duty to their stock holders.
Which will be chucked aside in a New York Minute in the name of supporting Liberal memes.

FOX seems to be having a similar problem:
If this keeps up, we might be seeing a pattern. :)

i think disney took a projected earnings hit last week for the same reason, namely, lower ratings for nfl football on abc.

How many people decided not to cancel their cable TV just so they could watch football?
Once they cancel cable it will be very hard to win them back.

“I enjoy having “Sundays off” and not wasting the day by having to be home from church for early game, or sit thru beautiful Autumn day in front of TV with all the commericals and their token Affirmative Action Jacksons, watching men act like children playing a child’s game”
yeah, one becomes habituated to nfl football like an addiction, but once the habit gets broken, then one is freed of the compulsion to pay attention to the nfl.
