ESPN was a staple for sport fans, it was a very successful cable station and sports outlet. "UNTIL"
They decided to Bash Trump and republicans relentlessly instead of sportscasting and they plummeted in ratings and revenue. How it seems theyve had an epiphany.
ESPN’s Gameplan to Make 'SportsCenter' Great Again: Less Trump-Bashing, Politics – More Sports
Just like the NFL’s, ESPN’s “SportsCenter” ratings have tanked because viewers were turned off (http://mclaughlinonline.com/2018/03/21/mamrc-survey-says-politicized-sports-entertainment-driving-viewers-away/)by programs that replaced sports content with political preaching and social issue commentaries – a harsh reality that even the far-left Washington Post has acknowledged.
But, unlike the National Football League (NFL), ESPN appears to have seen the light and devised a new gameplan designed to win back lost audience.
As the Post notes (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2018/12/05/espn-wants-make-sportscenter-great-again/?utm_term=.bd9ad50c9edb) in its December 5, 2018 article, “ESPN wants to make ‘SportsCenter’ great again,” “SportsCenter’s” on-air fight against the policies of President Donald Trump has hurt ratings:
“By last year, the show was suffering from slumping ratings as the company fought against the business climate of cord-cutting and the divisive politics of the Trump era.”
…
“The 6 p.m. “SportsCenter” struggled to build an audience, and ESPN faced heavy fire from the right for being both too political and too liberal.”
