Brooklyn is not a great arena for hockey.

2021 Predictions
- Thread starter CaliRadioFan

One prediction I would like to see, involving the Peoria/Bloomington and Chicago DMAs:
--Sinclair and Venture Technologies Group swap ownership and programming of WHOI (the former ABC affiliate), current Fox affiliate WYZZ (COL Bloomington) and WAOE (formerly UPN/My) in Peoria. With Venture getting WYZZ, and Sinclair getting WAOE but keeping WHOI--including WAOE's post-repack LaSalle, IL translator and its proposed COL change from Peoria to Oswego, IL.
Sinclair then moves WYZZ-43.1's 35-year old Fox affiliation to WHOI-19.1, returning a "real network" i.e., non-netlet to 19.1 since losing ABC to WEEK-25.2 in 2016. And putting all Peoria DMA Big 4 networks on Peoria-based stations.
Sinclair keeps the new WAOE translator in Peoria.
Sinclair also obtains WCHU-LD in Chicago, which has recently relayed WAOE's new CornerStoneTV programming.
WAOE (from its LaSalle tower) and WCHU began airing all of the Sinclair-owned netlets on 59.1 thru 59.4 (Comet, TBD, Charge, Stadium). WAOE gets its COL changed to Oswego and applies for new transmitter site closer to Chicago, only a year after moving to the LaSalle tranny of the former WWTO.
Venture looks for another Chicago-area LD station (possibly WAAA-LD Valparaiso, owned by Aqua-Land Communications).
The new Venture-owned WYZZ brings the My "network" back to Peoria-Bloomington on 43.1, while WHOI becomes "Fox 19" or "Fox Central Illinois." But its master control goes to Sinclair's WICS/WRSP studios in Springfield, IL--with the new WHOI transitioning to a similar schedule and syndie programming rights to WRSP in Springfield.
WCHU-LD airs all of Sinclair's netlets on 59.1 thru 59.4 in Chicago (Comet, TBD, Charge, Stadium). Then Sinclair sells the new WAOE Peoria translator to TBN (who turns it into a repeater of WMWC Galesburg/Quad Cities) and actually decides to air all of their netlets in Peoria via channel-sharing with WHOI. Leading to this new lineup in Peoria-Bloomington:

What's behind the slump: A natural cooling-down of a once-hot product, a la NASCAR, or white resentment of BLM?
A mix of both + 'isolation'/no-fans-allowed fatigue. I haven't watched a sports event in full since life was still normal and audiences were packed. I was doing some AM DXing a week or two ago when the Cleveland Browns had a Monday Night Football game. Hearing REAL screams of fans behind Kevin Harlan (even just 12,000 of them) sounded and felt like a little sign of normalcy...even if it doesn't feel like it now.
The piped-in crowd noise during Seahawks games sounds so fake, that if you didn't know Covid was going on and you were blindfolded, you'd think the stadium was packed...

NBA TV is a cable channel that only airs a few games a week. WWE Friday Smackdown is on Fox.
he means the NBA game on ABC & ESPN between the Lakers and the Mavericks got beat by SmackDown on Fox
How much do Christmas night ratings count in the book?
Lets take the next 2 months and compare each Friday night before saying the NBA is in free fall.
Unlike radio, TV ratings focus on individual shows, not channels or stations. The audience for each show affects the rate charged. In many cases, delivery is guaranteed or projected, and if a show does not deliver, an adjustment or compensatory spots are given.
We are in a dead spot in the TV season. Christmas week is not knows as a big TV week. Do they weight this week like they would sweeps.
Sweeps are national mass surverys. The metered markets have overnights.
Again, rates are based on delivery of each show. Rates are appropriate for the size of each show's measured audience.
if I’m buying the NBA coverage, that’s the impressions I care about. How wrestling does in and of itself is irrelevant.
it matters when it's lead in was a late season NFL game between the Saints and the Vikings and the post show spilled into the first seven minutes of the time slot SmackDown airs in.
No, it doesn’t. Not if that’s not what I bought as an advertiser. I bought a specific number of eyeballs from a specific audience. It‘s up to the good folks from whom I purchased them to deliver and make it up to me. One program on one network is utterly irrelevant to what my contract is for.
Especially in the Eastern and Central Time zones.
Wait! Doesn't that mean the piped-in crowd noise was realistic?
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The only thing worse than this plan is to expand the show to 90 minutes which would probably kill it dead.
There is zero logistical (realistic) way to do it In daytime. None. It’s absurd. As is the idea of a 90 minute primetime edition.
The only thing worse than 90 minutes of Price would be 90 minutes of Wheel. Actually, even 90 minutes of Jeopardy! would be way too much of a good thing. The half-hour format has served game shows well for more than six decades. If it needed changing, it certainly would have done so by now.
