Network’s prime-time viewership was up 4% this year before it canceled its hit police reality show, Nielsen data show
WSJ
Ratings for A&E Network have plummeted since it canceled the hit police reality show “Live PD” on June 10, a sign of how much the network relies on law-enforcement programming.
Average prime-time viewership for A&E between June 11 and July 19 was 498,000 people, down 49% from the same period last year, according to data from Nielsen. In the key demographics of adults 18-49 and 25-54, the declines are 55% and 53%, respectively.
The show, which follows police on their rounds in multiple cities simultaneously, averaged about 1.9 million viewers for its Friday and Saturday night episodes, repeatedly re-aired on other days. It spawned several successful spinoff shows, also canceled.

In the entertainment industry, Mr. Floyd’s death has led to discussions about the role television and movies play in shaping perceptions of law enforcement and whether portrayals of police have been too one-sided and have failed to address concerns about excessive force and bad policing.
When A&E canceled “Live PD,” the network said: “This is a critical time in our nation’s history and we have made the decision to cease production on ‘Live PD.’ Going forward, we will determine if there is a clear pathway to tell the stories of both the community and the police officers whose role it is to serve them. And with that, we will be meeting with community and civil-rights leaders as well as police departments.”

Good. I hope the network folds and another company starts up a "Live PD" copycat

Hopefully the ESPN networks follow with all of their BLM commercials.

Only if they are dropped, and no provider is going to drop a woke network any time soon.
Edit, don't know why the downvotes, providers carry unprofitable networks all the time and just pass the costs on to the consumers. It's just a fact.

Thinking about it, I don't think I've watched anything on A&E since Live PD went to Recorded PD
Posted on 7/24/20 at 9:44 am to goofball
During this time period, even more people would have been watching Live PD than normal
A&E’s loss

But you’re a snowflake for not wanting to watch sports with BLM thrown in your face
Posted on 7/24/20 at 9:48 am to goofball
I have been saying for a while expect Live PD or some variant such as Live First Responders to be on A&E in a few months. The show was too popular, the cancellation won’t last.

Not knowing your target audience means you go broke. The real test is going to be sports. A lot of us have basically weaned off it since there were no sports the last half year, and when the only thing you hear from athletes are opinions I can see why everyone is frustrated.

Good. I watched LivePD every Friday & Saturday night or recorded it when I was busy.
I haven't turned that channel on since they've cancelled it.
