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.

Makes NO SENSE that ESPN should be a premium channel.
I’m not going to pay extra to hear these “moral superior” clowns.
No thanks, c’ya.

WHO would be shopping more at Target?
The average liberal or the average conservative?
All the years I worked in Manhattan I’ve never ONCE stepped foot into a Target. I dont know if there is one in Manhattan.
I used to go to the one on Staten Island all the time. A SUBURBAN area. Not anymore.
Smart move by a liberal diversity employee at Target to take the WHOLE company down!
The only clear answer is to move further left.
Sorry, make that LGBT pride section at Target. (All inclusive)
Colin Kaepernick
She is not, and was not, a product of Disney. She was a Nickelodeon actress. Granted, her music gets airtime on Radio Disney, but she's not a Disney artist in any way.
I was reading an article about tv ratings yesterday. It seems that ratings are declining precipitously across all broadcast media, and the game that’s being played it to try to keep your own show’s ratings from decreasing more than the across the board decline. Nobody’s ADDING viewers.
Good Lord.

They think that spewming left wing insanity is going to get converts. It’s more of a proselytizing exercise. Like all fanatics they don’t view the world as it is. It’s all seen through their poop colored glasses.
I wish I got Target survey’s. That would be fun.
It was GREAT! :)
They’re still too arrogant to say “WE WERE WRONG. WE ARE SORRY”
