That was a good event too.

What in the hell can they do to right this ship.

Has the titanic already hit the iceberg or is there time to save this ship?

Bellator numbers have cratered this year. What the hell is going on.
 
Still more than UFC 224 is gonna do
 
lost to boxing on HBO which got 811K
 
i have PS VUE and Paramount/Spike is not on PS VUE.

Luke Thomas alluded to this before too but it seems like the Paramount Networks audience is very different from Spike, a lot more women watch Paramount now: http://blog.viacom.com/2018/03/wome...nt-network-wraps-stellar-first-ratings-month/

the network rebranding seems to have hurt them a lot. they should sell the tv rights like the ufc does, paramount is not the right place for them.

According to TVbyTheNumbers Paramount Network numbers are actually up in total since the rebrand. Pretty much all of the shows that used to be on spike are still doing just as well if not better (inkmaster, bar rescue, lip sync battle, etc...)

I dont think the rebrand is the reason.

i think its up cause their women viewership is up a lot like 44 percent. overall its good for them but the wrong audience for bellator, spiketv was branded as a guys network though they slowly went away from that, the new paramount audience isnt an MMA audience i think. thats my only explanation for the huge sudden decrease in audience. true everything is down because people are shifting digital but this is a consistent sudden big drop in ratings that mostly coincides with paramount.

i think this will be the last year of bellator on paramount, not a big deal, viacom has a bunch of other channels or they could sell part of the tv rights to a sports channel. moving it to the appropriate station i think would be best for bellator but what do i know, just a random keyboard warrior
 
the mma media even got behind this event.

I wonder how much viacom had to pay Fedor and Mir.
 
That’s a drag. I didn’t expect a million considering recent trends but I did expect better overall between Paramount/CMT

They could always try promoting the events more. I don’t see how I’d know about Bellator events if I wasn’t already following their schedule. Even for their bigger fights.
 
OUCH.

I was thinking more in that 750K-800K with a peak of at least 1.0. Thought the event looked ok on paper and came off much better overall.

I guess this is what to expect when Bellator has no flow to it for the audience to follow from event to event.


P.S.: I don't really count CMT. Who tunes into CMT over Paramount, probably very little. So that is nothing more than people who left on boxes or just happen to flip through by chance on CMT and stayed with it. The late probably being less than half that number.
 
Hell of a lot better than what bellator has been getting


Things have changed for spike/paramount. Idk why people are expecting them to get numbers they used to get. Paramount seems to appeal to a new audience all together. Bellator May not be for a lot in that audience. They also have literally no shoulder programming.

Considering the horrid ratings of Bellator’s last show, I’d say 750k between both networks for this event is not horrible.

How do you not count cmt numbers? It’s not like fake people are watching the event.

The point of ratings is to gauge home many eyeballs were on the event.

because CMT would probably get 170k viewers airing any rerun. I dont count it either. Nobody is tuning into cmt to watch bellator. Those are just people who watch that network.
