Grammy Awards viewership falls to record low
axios.com ^

Posted on 03/15/2021 1:32:38 PM PDT by Conserv

Just 8.8 million people tuned into the Grammy Awards on CBS this year, a new all-time low for the music awards show, according to near-final Nielsen ratings.

Why it matters: In a sign of how much the pandemic has sped up ratings declines for award shows, the Grammy's ratings were still the highest for any major award show in the past year.

The Golden Globes were viewed by just 6.9 million people this year, a record low. Viewership of the Emmys last September dropped 11% year-over-year to just 6.1 million viewers, another record low. Prior to Sunday, 2006 was the lowest-rated Grammy Awards with 17 million viewers.

I guess there is hope, we do have some taste left in the country. Americans don’t want to watch visual and artistic swill. Good for us.

Didn’t most of the award shows this year have record poor viewership? If so, what will the poor celebs do without the country fawning over them.

Most of what I’ve seen of the people making music nowadays, I don’t want to hear.

What I’ve heard over store speakers is just horrendous.

Especially the women, they sound a bit like a nasally cartoon characters, just awful.

There’s enough old stuff and I listen to a wide variety, I will have no need to listen to wokesters.

But wouldn’t millions of people stuck at home boost TV ratings—people being starved for entertainment and all?

I thought the same thing about sports.

Listened to my wife play her Ukulele, instead. Much better.

One would think during a lockdown pandemic people would turn to entertainment or sports. Yet we’ve seen the opposite happening due to the woke factor.

You nailed it. People are sick and tired of the vulgarity, politics and self-promotion. Its a disgusting spectacle that turns normal people off.

A bunch of self-absorbed worthless human beings with a self-inflated view of their own self-importance.

Let then wallow in their own self-congratulatory, ego-driven drivel.

I don't even know anyone who watches this slop, let alone cares about it.

The filth and wokeness coupled with scum virtue signaling is a big turn off.

Movies are entertainment. Sports are a social activity. Who likes to watch football alone? Award ceremonies are what you watch when you are too lazy to change the channel.

So again, numbers are used to confuse.

So this year is 8.8 mil.
Last low was 17 mil a decade ago.
So what was last year ?

Reporting hits new all time low.

We learned some valuable lessons and one important bit of information from the Pandemic.

We do not need sports stars or professional sports. Those overpaid morons offer nothing of value to society.

We do not need movie stars or professional performers when they bring us vulgar garbage and political horse crap.

On a happy note that outweighs the self important self centered narcissists above....

We now know bigfoot’s name. His name is Darrel.

An old Al Jolson song fails at ratings. Too bad.
