The left's beloved awards shows continue to implode

[TJustice]

When you have govt spending included in a GDP calculation its no wonder the largest GDP per capita counties frequently correlate with welfare and strong democrat turnout.

Hm, Clinton won counties that responsible for almost 70 percent of GDP. Hm, shows that liberals do work after all.

I know they used to love this but a lot of them got pissed when Nascar started discouraging the pro slavery flags that republicans love so much.

NASCAR Fans Are Racing Away From The Sport Even Faster
Dave Caldwell
Live attendance and television ratings at NASCAR races did not just start declining yesterday. It is a stale, decade-old story, with race tracks removing thousands of seats that had been filled in NASCAR’s prime, and faithful stock-car couch potatoes tuning elsewhere.


Live attendance and television ratings at NASCAR races did not just start declining yesterday. It is a stale, decade-old story, with race tracks removing thousands of seats that had been filled in NASCAR’s prime, and faithful stock-car couch potatoes tuning elsewhere.

It appears, however, that fans are now deserting in droves. Sunday’s big Monster Energy Cup race at Talladega, Ala., won by Joey Logano on a gorgeous afternoon, was run before grandstands that were mostly filled, but empty enough that the word “TALLADEGA” in unused seats at each end was visible.

(Maybe overhead shots from the Goodyear blimp are not such a great way to sell the sport.)

But it was the television ratings from Talladega — one of NASCAR’s most famous tracks — that were most eye-opening. The race delivered a 2.85 national rating on Fox, with 4.7 million viewers. The same race in 2017, a week later but also on Fox, had a 3.5 rating and 5.9 million viewers.

That is an 18% drop in ratings and a 20% drop in viewership, but it gets even more grim. The 2016 race at Talladega had a 4.0 national rating, with 6.7 million viewers. So in just two years, the race lost two million of 6.7 million viewers — a 30% plunge. (The same race 10 years ago drew nine million viewers, incidentally.)

On the previous weekend, a race at Richmond drew a crowd estimated by news media at about 42,500, not bad for stands that now seat about 50,000. But there used to be 112,000 seats at Richmond, which were filled for 33 Cup races in a row through 2008.

This must be the reason.

While not as bad as the falls that the Oscars and Grammys have seen in recent years, that’s still down 4% in the demo and 11% in sets of eyeballs from the previous low of last year’s Stephen Colbert hosted and Sean Spicer cameoing Emmys, held on a Sunday. Falling to painful numbers, the Lorne Michaels executive produced 70th Primetime Emmys are also face planted 34% in viewers from the Don Mischer EP’d 66th Primetime Emmys.

That August 25 2014 ceremony was the last time the Comcast-owned net had the Emmys and was also on a Monday, so NBC could still keep its Sunday Night Footballschedule on track.

Obviously, last night’s Emmys didn’t face SNF but they did go up against ESPN’sMonday Night Football – and the result wasn’t a winner for NBC, to put it politely, as you can read below.

Fox – the Emmy ball is in your hands for next year. Hold tight.




and here is a more from bretibart

Ratings for Monday’s Emmy Award show collapsed by ten percent compared to 2017, which was already an all-time low.
According to the early numbers, the 70th Emmy Awards telecast on NBC sank with just a 7.4 household rating, a ten percent collapse compare to last year

The final numbers, which will include total viewers and various demographics, are expected to be released later on Tuesday.

It was believed the ratings could not get much worse than they were in 2017 when far-left comedian Stephen Colbert hosted. This year’s telecast was dominated by the far-left cast and producers of Saturday Night Live, but this only appears to have scared more people away.

Like everything else in the age of Trump, Saturday Night Live and all Hollywood award shows have become humorless, angry, partisan, divisive, and insulting to half of the American public.

As a result, almost all of these award shows have suffered record-low ratings.
Just last month, ratings for the MTV Video Awards collapsed to a record low.

In March, the Jimmy Kimmel-hosted Oscars sank by an incredible 16 percent, hitting an all-new record low.

The Grammys took a -20 percent dive in January to an all-time record low.

The Golden Globes, hosted by the anti-Trump Seth Myers, also took a dive, especially with younger viewers.

Does the right watch anything other than Fox TJ?

Disney’s Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger admitted in a revealing interview released Thursday that ESPN became too political, an issue Hollywood’s most powerful man says the sports network’s president is trying to fix.
Asked how ESPN has changed in the past year, Iger told the Hollywood Reporterthat Jimmy Pitaro — the longtime Disney executive who replaced John Skipper as the network’s president in March — has attempted to refocus its coverage on sports and away from politics.

“There’s been a big debate about whether ESPN should be focused more on what happens on the field of sport than what happens in terms of where sports is societally or politically,” Iger began. “And Jimmy felt that the pendulum may have swung a little bit too far away from the field. And I happen to believe he was right.”
