Empire is 100% carried by black audiences so markets with low black populations have to suffer.



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.

Pretty sure he was speaking financially. If you own a Fox affiliate in, say, Rhode Island, you're not going to be able to sell local commercials for much money.

Wrong

I work in television and used to work at a FOX Affliate in a market that was only 3% black. We had inventory in the Monday Night 8p-9p block on FOX we could not sell because Empire did 0 ratings in our market. When I said suffer I said it was our station suffering since we got no money for that inventory. We could not sell it.

he means that local affiliates with low black populations have a tougher time selling ads.
