Couldn’t happen to a more deserving network. A&E panicked in the aftermath of the homicide of George Floyd by Minneapolis police and canceled all of its “Live PD” programming. Half of its viewers responded by canceling their A&E viewing, the Wall Street Journal reported today (via Instapundit

Ratings for A&E Network have plummeted since it canceled the hit police reality show “Live PD” on June 10, a sign of how much the network relies on law-enforcement programming.

Average prime-time viewership for A&E between June 11 and July 19 was 498,000 people, down 49% from the same period last year, according to data from Nielsen. In the key demographics of adults 18-49 and 25-54, the declines are 55% and 53%, respectively.

Fox News should pick it up. Drop in the 1100-200 or 1200-300 time slot on the weekends.

I used to enjoy modern marvels on History Channel. Hoover Dam. Autobahn. Very interesting. But of course they no longer do that type of programming.

Exactly my comment, my FRiend. Described much better than I might have typed.

Expired registration stickers have nothing to do with getting automobile insurance in my state.
In trying to find out what state you live in I found out you (whoever you are) don't exist.

It doesn’t matter how many viewers they have.

What matters is advertising revenue. I suspect what really happened is their advertisers pulled out, scared they would get the wrath of BLM.
