No 'Live PD' = disintegration of ratings for A&E; network lost half its viewers in a month

I have to admit. I had no idea what Live PD was before it was cancelled and had never seen 1 second of it. I'm just going out on a limb here... But I think a network pulling the plug on its biggest show for idiotic reasons.. Prolly not the smartest move.

GET WOKE, GO BROKE: A&E VIEWERSHIP PLUMMETS AFTER DROPPING ‘LIVE PD’
Another channel went woke. Translation: another channel moved out of the ratings business.
Last month, A&E bowed down to the mob and canceled Live PD. Since A&E’s strategic decision, its ratings have plummeted to embarrassing levels.
Per the Wall Street Journal, from June 11 to July 19, A&E’s average primetime viewership is down an alarming 49%. How could it get worse? Check the key demographics. Advertisers prioritize adults 18-49 and 25-54 — that’s where the money is made. Profitable areas A&E has declined by 55% and 53%, respectively.
Live PD averaged around 1.9 million viewers, which is enormous for a cable program in 2020.
Before the pressure from the woke folks online got to be too much, A&E was up 4% in primetime.
The cancelation is tanking the channel’s entire day. Since the pull, total daily viewership is down 36% year-over-year. Did the key demographics at least hold up this time? Of course not. They are down 42% in 18-49 and 46% in 25-54.
Woke never wins. It never will. Just don’t tell ESPN, HBO Max, NBA, NFL, MLB, and the New York Times

Good. I can’t think of anything else A&E offers that I would regularly tune in to watch. If they want to kill their best show, let them deal with the consequences.

Let's see how pandering works out for them.
I cannot believe businesses are willing to take a change on alienating customers as easily as they do in 2020.

I bet it'll be back in a few months with "tweaks" designed to appease(if that is even possible) the loons.
"We have retooled Live PD from the ground up. We will show a more fair representation of interactions between the public and the police. In some instances, we will provide social workers to deescalate situations or to teach the police how to deescalate situations. Also, there will be no minorities shown interacting with the police, as we realize that only perpetuates negative stereotyping."

Networks are being run by witless lemming minded clowns.

There was a report the other day that 2% of Twitter posters provide 80% of the platform's content. And only 15% of the population is even on the app.
It's not real life. It's an echo chamber for the total fringe loons of society. How do these networks not understand this?

Because they are managed by the same liberal progressive loons. The problem not just for conservatives but for rational thought in general is that almost every aspect of media, learning institutions, tech companies, movie and tv production, in other words almost everything the public experiences nationwide every day is controlled by liberal progressives with an agenda to transform the United States into their liberal progressive utopia.

It was their only live show and really their only original programming worth a damn. They had commercials for it and built A&E around it. I fail to see how this is surprising to anyone, but this whole site has turned into "frick the libs!" every given chance, on every board.

No matter the side, on this we can agree. Twitter is a cesspool.
That said, A&E is a trash network and if a stupid arse Live PD show was the only thing keeping it alive, it should have died years ago. If they had decent programming, you can bet your arse it wouldn’t be a problem.

:rotflmao: Always, without fail, “muh libruls.”
This entire fricking site has been overrun by the PB. While you all cry salty tears about politics ruining everything, you feed the problem you bitch about constantly.

Wasn't that the point of the show to begin with?

The Left: "We need more transparancy of police departments!"
Also the Left: "We need to cancel this show that shows transparency of police departments because it's racist!"

That's not the issue with social media at all. The problem is all the different services have algorithms that push you towards things similar to what you've clicked on before so you are eventually shunted off into an echo chamber. It doesn't matter if you are liberal or conservative. Everyone gets a warped view of what is actually being talked about on those sites b/c most of what they see corresponds with what they already believe.

I've only seen a few episodes so maybe I'm off base, but shouldn't something like that be praised by the anti cop crowd? It's literally showing real time interactions between police and their suspects. What better what yo hold people accountable than to film everything they do.

I miss all of the cities that pulled out of The First 48 more than LIVE PD. LIVE PD was good the first season when it was actually live, but they started editing all of the hardcore stuff that happened. Made it into Cops with a couple of arseholes giving commentary.
New Orleans, Miami, Dallas, Houston, and Memphis all failed to renew contracts with First 48, saying the show made the cities and/or the minorities in them, look bad. Pretty sure Atlanta is the only major city still on it. Tulsa and Birmingham were also on it last season.
