I asked you for data when I said how many people do you know that watch MTV. You just want to assume it’s 1988 and everyone is in front of their TV watching MTV all day.

They are TV's ghosts — networks that somehow survive with little reason to watch them anymore

Cable television is filled with ghosts. They're networks that somehow survive as shadows of themselves, with schedules clogged with reruns and devoid of any real innovation.

Here is a recent figure if one was specifically wanting to watch a show on MTV. But then again the parent company sees protecting their flagship TV app as the priority because of demographic reasons.

Now MTV is a ghost. Its average prime-time audience of 256,000 people in 2023 was down from 807,000 in 2014, the Nielsen company said. One recent evening MTV aired reruns of “Ridiculousness” from 5 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.

The general interest USA Network’s nightly audience tumbled 69% in the same time span, and that was before January’s announcement that viewer-magnet “WWE Raw” was switching to Netflix.

Without favorites like “The Walking Dead” or “Better Call Saul,” AMC’s prime-time viewership sunk 73%. The Disney Channel, birthplace to young stars like Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff and Selena Gomez, lost an astonishing 93% of its audience, from 1.96 million in 2014 to 132,000 last year.
