New York (CNN Business)The NFL has so far kept up with a ratings boost that started a season ago.
One month into its 2019 season, the league's viewership is up around 5% compared to this time last year, attracting an average of roughly 16 million viewers across the league's network partners, according to Nielsen data. The NFL's viewership is also up 8% from 2017 and down just 1% from 2016. This season's numbers build on last year's ratings, which rebounded following two seasons of declining viewership. At that time, the media and sports observers wondered if the league's ratings could ever bounce back. The games were lousy. The president relentlessly attacked the league over players who kneeled during the National Anthem. And a glut of on-demand, prestige content from Netflix and other streaming services meant that TV viewers had an excess of other viewing options. It seemed like the end of times for the NFL.
