Considering that the show is aired during MLB's All-Star break, when, other than routine golf and tennis tournaments, there's nothing else going on in American sports that would attract any viewers at all, I think it's safe to say that the ESPYs are ESPN's best option by far.

It's 2019. Not 2001. We have different ways of viewing television. While I'm sure some teenagers do watch regular broadcast television, like Fox, most teens and young adults aren't, or watch very few shows. Fox has their FOXNOW app for watching past episodes of Fox programming. They often watch their favorite shows on Netflix or Hulu. No commercials, no schedules. Last time I saw my younger niece, her parents let her watch Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood on the Kindle with a subscription. No having to wait for KCTS to broadcast it. Now I think PBS Kids has its own app. My cousin does the same thing. She's in her early '30s. Only has regular TV, no cable, no satellite. They binge-watch Hulu most of the time. Cheaper, no commercials, no cable bill. To them, 'what's a TNT?' This is the same generation where 41% use Snapchat for social media. To them, Facebook and Twitter are outdated.
I often hear fellow college students chatting about what show they binge-watched on Netflix over the weekend.
The TCA's could be exclusively-streamed on some platform, and I'm sure it would get way more than 720,000 viewers on its own. YouTube, I'm sure, would be a prime target.

The exclusive streaming partner was Twitter:

Also Netflix has been testing the addition of commercials to their platform:

Even still; paying some musical artist on stage AFTRA rate, is a lot less costly than paying actors under contract for a series that may or may not clear one full season.
The ultimate being sites that are built around user-generated content, where there are no scripts, no actors, and no technicians.
wouldn't be a better idea to rebrand the teen choice award to the young people's choice awards to lump in the tweens to college age kids in to the targeted group. the target age group should be 9-25 years old.
I think Procter & Gamble owns the People's Choice name.
We don't have to guess at how much teens and young adults use television. Nielsen provides data for that, and it isn't especially rosy if you're a television network executive:
Adults 18-34 use 13.5 hours of TV (live and time-shifted) a week, on average. That's half of what the 35-49 demo uses, and one-third of the 50-64 demo.
Teens were even lower, using 8.75 hours of TV (live and time-shifted) a week -- one-fifth of the quantity used by 50-64s.
Only 74% of adults 18-34 and 77% of teens used traditional TV at all during the survey week.

I think the people behind the Teen Choice awards are very aware of all the statistics too. They know they're creating content that the audience will likely seek out later on other platforms and devices. Their job is to create content that will attract that kind of usage, and find ways to monetize it. It's not a hobby. Its their job.
Whats so inconvient about turning on a tv? These days you can you actually dont have to turn it on just say alexa turn on tv and what channel. I mean they are dumbing down people in my age group im 23 and can say 10 years ago it wasnt nearly this bad. I really have grown to hate this millenial/ gen x generation.
Also 10 years ago you didnt have to worry about somebody interpreting what you say in some weird way post it somewhere and try to ruin your reputation.
