The Networks and Cable companies are obligated to give the advertisers rebates if the numbers are not what is guaranteed in the contracts.

I like the sound of that. As you say, the owners and advertisers should be very nervous.
Unless something really changes, the USA, Australia, Russia, Ukraine and Argentina are going to be doing land-office business exporting grains to southern Africa by 2030 as agriculture on South Africa collapses from neglect and poor management.
I guess this is what they had in mind when they spoke of sacrifice.
“Miss USA=No skin. Run by lesbians now.”
being a male chauvinist, I wont claim I care about what they say but if you spout lefty crap even if you’re hot, I hate you. Then again, my priority being a male horndog is the swimsuit competition..
...all these fugly man-hating dykes thinking us males actually watch because of their “intellect” is drop dead stupid.
Oh hell wrong thread.
I feel sorry for my American friends that the SJW clowns and corporate cowards have destroyed what I have always considered to be the best and most masculine of America’s major league sports. Fortunately we Canucks still have the NHL, where a player can get a couple of teeth knocked out and still make his next shift. There have been some politically correct rumblings but so far there hasn’t been a total capitulation.
“Today’s television programming is mostly a worthless waste of time and none of our grandchildren, ages 10-24 watch TV.’
It is dreadful PC drek, hyper programmed by feminists and gays,
The desert is almost out of sand.
Idiotic programs.
Neither one will come off their position and I’m done with em...
I would think that shareholders of Nike could sue them for breach of fiduciary responsibility.
> Over on ABC, Miss America (4.3 mil/0.7) dropped 20 and 26 percent from last year’s pageant.
Lost the last of their male heterosexual audience.
Every MINUTE, hundreds of additional hours of content are added to YouTube. Granted, 99% of what gets posted there is garbage but that other 1% is entertaining enough and you would need several lifetimes just to skim through the good stuff. And remember, hundreds of more hours are being added every minute and their are BILLIONS of videos sitting there already. Included in those videos is pretty much every episode of every TV show and every movie ever made (except maybe the current ones that YouTube is constantly pulling down for copyright violation).
As of 2017, it is estimated that would take 200,000 years to watch all the video already uploaded.
So how does television cope with that?
I don't think anybody under 30 watches traditional television. Just like in 2000, nobody under 30 was buying compact discs anymore. Today, there is almost nobody buying compact discs.
Donald Trump: Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy - "I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera..."Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera..."Memo bis punitor delicatum!" It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzy lifting drinks. You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!
Amen! No TV here since Sep 8, 2008. Just celebrated 10th anniversary.
That's how much TV, including streaming et al, is missed.
First, I think network television programming is moribund. In the age of Netflix, Amazon Prime, and a host of others, why in the world should I ever suffer through watching 18 to 20 minutes of advertising per hour of viewing. This is an insult to the interest of my time.
Second, in the age of Instagram, Snapchat, and a host of other apps where females routinely post pictures of themselves in various states of undress competing with other women/girls, just what is the remaining appeal of Miss America now, especially now that the pageant is wholly infected by the PC/SJW cancer.
I mean what’s the point of watching the remnants of this pageant and now having these intellectual womyn lecture us with regurgitated leftwing talking points and further insulting 60% of Americans?
Ironically, yesterday I enjoyed watching the UEFA NATIONS League, France/Netherlands was a good game. And both teams stood and sang their National Anthems.
Actually watched MA last night and can tell you it was a PC/SJW lovefest. Many of the girls must have been chosen on some criteria other than beauty. It was probably a good thing there was no bathing suit competition, it wouldn’t have been pretty. Most of the questions were social ‘awareness’ in nature, i.e ‘How do you as MA intend to be relevant to under represented populations?’, ‘In todays highly charged, divisive political climate how can you help unite the country?’. The judges were 3 black women, one black man, one homosexual man and two white girls whose claim to fame is they are internet/Facebook stars. If destroying the pageant is Gretchen Carlson’s attempt at revenge against predatory men she is doing a bang up job. If it survives till next year I’ll be surprised.
For the record the final five consisted of two Black girls, one Hispanic girl, one mixed Asian/American and one white girl. One of the Black girls won with the Asian/American coming in second. No pretty blonde, white girls need apply.
