I've heard that same reasoning for why ESPN has taken a hard left bend and promoting the likes of Jemele Hill more. Because they need new audiences with the cord cutting so they think pandering to minorities with left wing personalities and programming is the way to go.
The problem is that ratings for a lot of these shows suck. Blackish is by far the worst performing show on that ABC Wednesday Night Block. Fresh Off the Boat did good at first but has kind of evened out. Empire is 100% carried by black audiences so markets with low black populations have to suffer.

Seems like an extreme panic move...ESPN is hemmorhaging subscribers because of it too...I was a loyal PTI viewer for 15 yrs but I haven't watched an episode for 3 months now...never will again and I never watch 1 minute of anything ESPN broadcasts now except the last 20 minutes of college game day and Live events.
Also those shows like empire seem to really be flash in the pan type shows too. They have lots of hype and ratings for like a half a year and then they peter out. Look at CBS, they have very little black centric shows and they do big ratings because of old people and white folks who like corny old style sitcoms. It's not flashy. But it makes them #1 and lots of cash. These shows are also massively appealing to international syndication, which of course is mostly white or Asian.

This is the kind of hyperbole which just makes you look ridiculous. So white audiences are "suffering" because there is a show on a network which they don't have to watch. Holy shite...we are fricked.
