According to Outkick, ratings across the NBA's networks have tumbled over last year when all analysts blamed the coronavirus for the fall in the ratings. Headed into the final week of the season, the ratings for ESPN, ABC, and TNT's broadcasts are down 13 percent over last year's disastrous coronavirus season.
Coming into the 2020-21 season, NBA games on ABC the league's most prominent broadcast partner were down 45% since 2011-12. Yes, 45%. Within that same time frame, NBA broadcasts on TNT were down 40%, and ESPN was down 20%. Come next week, this story will, somehow, read worse. ABC's damning declines are most concerning. Last season, the NBA on ABC recorded its lowest average on record, 2.95 million. While exact figures are yet to be determined, ABC games this season will still come in lower.
The fact that they're lying why their ratings drop is quite telling.
