NFL ratings collapse in week 4…
Citizenfreepress ^ | October 07 2020 | Citizenfreepress

Here’s what is indisputable: ratings for the NFL are down, in some cases to an ugly degree. Thursday Night Football (NFL Network) was down an astounding 70 percent from last year, but that comes with a huge caveat: last year’s game aired on NFL Network and Fox. Broadcast TV always jacks up ratings, and it’ll do the same thing when TNF returns to Fox later this season.

Still: only 5.41 million watched the Denver Broncos and the New York Jets play last Thursday.

Sunday Night Football (NBC) took a steep dive, falling 37 percent in viewership from last year. The matchup was substandard — a winless Philadelphia versus an injury-ravaged San Francisco — even if the game ended up being fairly decent. If there’s a worrying sign for the NFL, it’s Sunday night.

The CBS doubleheader also saw sharp declines due in large part to the shifting of Patriots-Chiefs to Monday night. A primo matchup vanished from the slate, and that sent the early game (primarily Chargers-Bucs) tumbling 32 percent to 9.95 million viewers, and the late game (Buffalo-Las Vegas) down 6 percent to 18.61 million viewers.

Great suggestions. Only have complete Have Gun.... So far.

To you and all: watch for amazing disappearance of beloved shows from streaming, subscription services and oldies TV networks. It happens.

I don’t know if you’re being facetious, but Highway Patrol was a fine drama not to be compared to with the Sunday thugarama. You are “duly authorized” to watch.

“Please note that there have been some really good Highway Patrol , Brady Bunch and Love Boat episodes against them in that time slot as competition recently”

Even the cousin Oliver episodes?

“...the same thing when TNF returns to Fox later this season.”

When, or if?

2 football, 2 basketball, 2 baseball.

Do they have a permanent bail bondsman office at the NFL? They need one.

Seventy percent is huge, no matter the broadcast medium. Huge.

I'm just waiting for Elway to be run out of town. He knows it's coming, he's sold his car dealerships, he doesn't appear in any commercials anymore.

Why can't he, John Elway, one of the greatest QBs of all time, find a quarterback?!

This Veteran hasn't watched a second of the kneeling league this year.

That said, I really, really wanted to watch the Denver Broncos' most recent game. The QB was the star of Boise State Ripien, and this was his first NFL start.

So, I checked to see if any Broncos were kneeling.. they were.

I chose to skip the game, the season, and finish with...

FU_NFL and FU_America-hating, Veteran-hating Goodell.

There is always a high probability level that I am facetious on posts here.

I am a big fan of Dan Mathews and his Highway Patrol. Watched all the series episodes about 2 months ago. So much better than "real life" and my obsession with politics. Because of my late mother being an abusive alcoholkc I don't drink so reading, FR, politics and old Tv shows are about all I have this year.
