What started? The ratings decline? Well, jackass,
ratings have declined for everyone. Nearly every major broadcast and cable network, nearly every scripted and unscripted show, even the NCAA tournament (the biggest TV sporting event outside the Super Bowl) this year was down from last year's
. "Flat is the new up" is the speak in the television industry now. All networks have seen double-digit declines in viewership across the board, with the exception of a few that have seen single-digit declines.
This is what I mean when I say you're uninformed. You don't know anything.
