Emmy Awards TV Ratings Hit Record Low in Early Numbers

The Emmys are becoming a tougher sell for viewers. For another year, initial ratings for the TV awards are down — this time slipping to an all-time low.
Adjustments could put the total audience ahead of the previous year's low, but the 8.2 overnight rating among metered market households is down another 2 percent from the previous year. That means that the final tally for the 2017 Emmys, hosted by Stephen Colbert on CBS, is on track to slip below the 11.3 million viewers (and a mere 2.8 rating among adults 18-49) that tuned in during 2016.
Emmy viewership has been dipping steadily over recent years, especially compared to the stronger awards shows such as the Golden Globes, the Academy Awards and the Grammys. The show hit new lows in 2015 and again in 2016, despite relatively strong performances in 2013 and 2014.

psst..... no one watches live television anymore outside of sports.
and no one likes commercials. Why spend an hour watching something where there's only 42 minutes that you actually watch.
DVR's and netflix is how people watch tv today outside of sports. We have better things to do than watch commercials.

Also people don't want to be force fed the Hollywood agenda.

That article from last week said there are now 22 million cord cutters. There are 116 million households in the US. That's saying 18.9% of US households have cut the cord, and a good many of those don't have access to CBS unless they are using an antenna. Being down only 2% in those circumstances is pretty good.

I wonder if they could do a separate stream where you don't get all the bullshite or could watch backstage and interviews instead. Like what ESPN does (did) with certain football games. No commentary or just the skycam view.

They will dismiss it like the NFL is - to their detriment.

To be fair, the Nielsen ratings were outdated 10 fricking years ago, nevertheless now. LOST's and Game of Thrones' viewerships were estimated to be more than twice what Neilsen ratings could meassure. They really need to completely do away with them.

TV drama/comedy content is so segmented at this point, there are no "big shows" for people to rally around. John Oliver, Veep, and Big Little Lies were the big winners last night. Those aren't shows with massive viewership.

This. Hell its beyond force feeding, its beating you over the head with it repeatedly with commercials in between. Sounds pretty much what I imagine Hell is like.

They're on the wait out. They still measure Baton Rouge by sending out old-fashioned paper diaries for a few households to fill out.
In a world where Amazon can follow you with sneaker ads for the precise size and brand that you wear, mailing fill in the blank questionnaires to people with a $5 bill is pretty 19th century.

Yea, and just like the NFL with their blinders, the media will be at a loss to explain the drop in viewership.

Does anyone care about Emmy ratings except people who want to believe this?

the categories are too confusing and redundant
the same shows win way too often, very little intrigue
The broadcast is cheesy and formulaic
we aren't nearly as invested in our TV shows across the board as we used to be

I've never understood why people ever enjoyed watching award shows.
