ESPN's audience saw a decrease in conservative leaning viewers between 2015 and 2016, according to a new analysis.

Deep Root Analytics conducted the study which found that ESPN viewership in 34 of 43 television markets saw a decrease in Republican viewers between the years that kick-started the presidential campaigns and election.

Multiple channels in the ESPN family saw their viewership move to the left of the political spectrum. While ESPN and ESPN 2 saw just a 5 percent and 10 percent decrease in Republican viewers respectively, ESPN News viewership became 36 percent less Republican.

The decrease in conservative viewers was not specific to rural markets. New York City's television market, which saw only 36 percent of voters support President Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, underwent a 7 percent decrease in conservative viewership. Similarly, Atlanta, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Tallahassee, and Washington D.C. all saw a decrease in conservative viewers.

In other news water is wet and the sky is sometimes blue.

Just took a survey about Target.

They’re dying.

Wanted to know how to stop the 1 year downward spiral.

Told them it’s too late. They’re dead to me.

Maybe the next company will shut the #### up or not do something REALLY stupid because of Target.

EVERYONE must have really stopped shopping there for good.

Wow.

Saw some numbers on SC6, the BLM hourly Sports Center. 40% of the audience are African-Americans.

And I’m sure ESPN officials are ecstatic. “See, our plan is working!”

“Yeah, but viewership numbers are in the toilet.”

“Shut up.”

I’m convinced Disney has become a force for evil in this world.

Just one of their corporate creations is the entertainment icon Ariana Grande, who besides marketing her sugar-coated hollywood degeneracy to teen girls, is also a producer of porn films.

Makes since considering nearly 100% of the Ball Bouncers are AAs.

I really don’t understand half the topics on SC6. It seems like they start out with a seemingly interesting topic - and soon jump to insider talk that does not make sense to people.

I can attest - I’ll watch ESPN for the live sporting events and that’s about it. Unfortunately, I still haven’t cut the cable cord yet so I’m still subsidizing them.

We haven’t bought a thing from Target, in their stores or online, since they invited men to come into the women’s restrooms and fitting rooms. What did they expect???

One problem with ESPN is that it’s too personality-driven.

It’s not ‘watch ESPN for complete sports coverage.’

It’s ‘watch us at ESPN cover sports.’
