Old people watch TV. If you appeal to them, you get ratings. Its like how right before streaming took off, all these country acts were moving major units because their fans were old and still buying music.Yes. PTI is ESPN’s highest rated show by far. It out-rates First Take & The Pat McAfee show. PTI is an institution, and the older viewers (like my Dad & uncles) who can’t stand Screamin’ A and the other loudmouths at ESPN, still tune in religiously to PTI. Kornheiser & Wilbon represent ESPN, before all of the hot take BS that followed. My Dad at 80 years old only DVR’s the news and PTI. Nothing else. There are plenty of people 55 and older who still watch PTI daily, almost 25 years in.
