The only thing good on live network TV is sports, Football, baseball, basket ball, hockey.... Everyone else streams to watch what they want WHENEVER they want. Too many good shows out there. Fallout, Stranger Things, Pluribus...insert your favorite streamed show here.
The way people watch TV is changing and the Networks need to adapt.

I binged Death by Lighting that was surprisingly good on Netflix. I never thought I'd like to watch a true historic period piece. If they taught history in school with a series like this, I'd be more into history. But you're right I only watch sports and maybe my local news to get the weather, I don't watch Cable or network tele.

I don't see "The world series of Poker" anywhere on this list so WTF are you saying?
Face it, more people watch Football than anything else, that is where you want to place your advertisement. (just not weird Puppy Killer Kristi Noem ones please)
