NBA's 2% drop was from the previous record for the lowest ratings in league history.
Creating a new lowest rating in league history.

No it wasnt. They are higher than 2006-07 (1.52 million) and much higher than 2019-20 (1.39 million)

The 2024-25 NBA regular season experienced a slight decline in television ratings, averaging 1.53 million viewers.

Weve went from 100+ million people watching live prime time tv to under 65 million and nba viewership has barely dropped from peak and remained the same over 20 years


All this tells you is the people that kept live TV did it for sports and a lot of the people that dropped it are either using other people's logins or they don't care about sports.

Which is why the NBAs new TV deal is worth way more than the last one. League pass sales have exploded too and that is a lot of revenue at over $100 per

Percentage gain's and losses are not a good metric of success by themselves. You also have to look a the raw number they were based on.

Would you rather an audience of 100 million and you lose 3% (97 million)

or an audience of 10 million and you lose 1% (9.9 million)

Is the sport with the 9.9 vs 97 really gonna brag they lost less % from the prior year?

What matters is percentage of total possible viewers as cord-cutting continues.

ok, sorry, my bad. 3rd lowest since (by a whopping 20,000 people) at least 2002-2003 (according to graph posted on 1st page).

and the NFL had their 2nd highest ratings since 2016 and tied for 6th highest since '08.




the point is that NBA is trending downward from an already really low point while the NFL trended down from a high spot and is still in a very high spot.

All tv viewership is down. The NFL is an outlier.

Compare the NBA to any television program besides the NFL and it will look great

All the "the boycotts against the NFL were a failure!" types on here make me laugh. The players start kneeling and numbers drop. The players quit their "look at me" kneeling and numbers trend back up. Seems to me the boycotting had an effect.

It's also easier than ever to stream sports illegally, with sites like StreamEast. I have to use them when a game I want to see is blacked out in my area. Doubt those people are factored into the final numbers.

I find this more interesting than the NBA number.

I was told in that thread from a couple of days ago that CFB viewership was as strong as ever, and no one is going to quit watching.

NBA 2.3 / 3.9m (ABC, 16 games) 1.1 / 1.7m (TNT, 52 games) 1.1 / 1.7m (ESPN, 76 games)

MLB 1.4 / 2.1m (Fox, 12 games) 0.8 / 1.1m (ESPN, 16 games) 0.3 / 0.4m (FS1, 40 games) 0.2 / 0.3m (TBS, 13 games)

You believe the NFL is making as much money now as they would have been if they hadn't done all that shite?

fricking moron, have no idea what static vs. dynamic analysis is nor nominal vs. real dollars
