Milwaukee and Indy are pretty small as national TV markets go, that doesn't help.

Since it's early on in the season it's honestly probably more of the former. On top of that the regular season hasn't mattered for years now since the NBA finals were foregone conclusions, and it's all the tougher when the only 2 teams that matter at all on a national scale are both out west, and the top sacrificial lamb in the east is an international market with no nielsen ratings.

The believe the NFL this year manages to stop the bleeding. Their ratings are flat or even a little up from last year.

I thought the NBAs ratings had been going up the last couple years. NBA just needs to get a couple actual good east coast teams, and one of them can’t be in Toronto.

Some of this is just a natural eb and flow coming off a few years of growth. It seems like the NFL is a little more engaging this year and some of the NBA viewership may be going there right now.

To be fair one of these four games was the most hyped regular season game in quite a while and actually managed to live up to it. And overcome the horrible broadcast it was on.

Pac 12 Network has basically completely given up trying to be on ATT Uverse. I'm honestly not sure who's even carrying them at this point.

They're also spending a frankly hilarious amount of money day to day

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

It was on Uverse but instead of AT&T Merger solving things for DirecTV as most people predicted, it went the other way.
