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.



They'll blame it on Covid then quietly roll back their wokeness.

I mean I didn't watch the show religiously but other than the random episode of Hoarders, it was the only time I would watch A&E.

It shouldn't be surprising their ratings took a massive dip after cancelling the networks most popular, live show.

Sadly, no one cares about that - including "Black Lives Matter".

The only way to stop all this nonsense is for a few of these companies to go out of business based on the side they chose. That's when the murals and stupid commercials will stop.

Since of these cities are replacing Police with Social Workers, they will have a spinoff called Live SW.

I would watch to see how a Social Worker handles a situation where a perp has a Glock 19 pointed at their dome.

I mean what did they expect? You cancelled the most popular show in your network's history at its peak.

Some cities stopped cooperating because it made them look bad.

What’s even worse is there is almost nothing on tv right now, and people are stuck in their homes. That number should be even worse.

Yep. But even that is getting old to their bosses I guess. They are rolling out old Storage War marathons.

They can still show the Live Rescue but that show sucks. It really shows folks that 80-90% of EMS calls are total horseshite. How many times can you watch someone being given Narcan? It’s cool the first couple times. After that who cares.

But also I wonder how much of it was A&E being bitches and how much was the participating depts saying “nah. We will stick with our body cams. “
