What cable network has experienced the worst fall off during the streaming/social media era?

[King Poetic]

BET BY FAR

How the fukk a 1 hour 30 minute movie be 3 to 4 hours on that network wit 80 commercials

 

[TEH]

I only stream live TV because of Sports.

 

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

MTV,

 

[Meowth tote da Uzi]

Nickelodeon pre streaming. Dem nikkas been showing nothing but sponge bob since 2010 out this bih

 

[Ces1ne?]

Yes and TLC used to actually have educational content, I learned SOOOOOO much from those networks. Now the only thing you'd learn is how to get a 600lb human through a doorway

G4.

The first incarnation was dying right as YouTube and Twitch were taking off, and even while it was alive the first time it struggled to compete with the rise of video podcasts and streaming.

Then the second incarnation crashed and burned in less than a year because it couldn't navigate the current landscape of content creation--it tried to do TV, YouTube and Twitch, not realizing that those are three different platforms with three very different audiences and three very different ways to make content.

I wouldn't know. I haven't watched cable in over 10 years

I came here to say this
I can't remember the last time I was flipping channels

This. But I'd have to say Spike TV. I tried looking for that shyt a couple days ago and it was gone.

Viacom fukked up because they don’t have most of their older shows in some sort of backup storage. They would essentially record/tape over existing reels so tons of original footage and episodes are lost forever.

well damn this makes a lot sense

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

History channel only talk about aliens & bigfoot now.

 

[315]

All of them

lol shyt reminds me of when I visited the sip a few weeks ago. My children asked “why are all these ads on the tv?” My mom thought it was hilarious

@ the way kids unintentionally make you feel

 

[Red Shield]

Pretty much every cable network....
and I wouldn't know now.. because I haven't had cable since either 2013-2015. Been so long I forgot which year I dropped it

MTV got hoed out by Youtube. Now you can watch any music video you want for the most part.

Really Viacom in general and this coming from someone who used to work for MTV they did not future proof any of that shyt. Almost none of those MTV shows from the 90's and 2000s are in their archives.

That’s kind of hard to believe nobody can’t get access to shows from the 90s/2000s

Ay, I know this is off topic, but what was that like working for MTV?
