Why have the TV ratings for the World Series fallen so drastically over the last 40 years?
Since the late 1960s and early 1970s, shares for the World Series have dropped from the high 50s to the high teens and ratings that were once over 30 are now near 10. What are the causes for the decline in World Series viewership?
More channels, more programming.
In the 70s, you had TVs that started at 2, went to 13 and had UHF (I think)
Remotes and cable brought you to 30 channels in the 80s.
I have Satellite now and my interesting channels start at 200.
I have 200-300 for regular TV, 300-400 for movies, 400-450 with sports on it, 540-600 for kids stuff. 600-650 for Space, Comedy network, etc
They said when Charlies Angels was on in the 70s, 59% of America was watching it. There were only 3 'main' stations though.
It's impossible to attain that now. There are simply too many options and too many other things to do.
