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

[Chip Skylark]

@ the way kids unintentionally make you feel

I swear man.

It’s crazy they never have to deal with commercials at all.

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.

god damn they could be killing with old episodes of yo mtv raps, trl, and there late 80's and early 90's stuff

fukking wow

Not to sound like an pervert but those adult channels gotta be up there. With all the free porn on the internet who still pays for porn channels like Playboy, Spice channel, etc.


Combat sports PPV have held up the best against online streaming IMO, good luck finding an stream that doesn't lag when an notable fighter has an PPV fight.

Da Sci-Fi/SyFy channel.

Discovery Channel.


I don’t know what the fukk it is now.


History channel and Animal planet too.

Sometimes I just want to nerd out on some shyt but be faced with bearded cacs escaping death on shrimp boats or making motorcycles instead ….and that’s on a good day

Doesn't CBS Sports HQ have a cable only login?

Never heard of Golazo and I don't really mess with 247sports since I get MLBTV for free (T-Mobile deal), ESPN+, and just YouTube highlight everything

Nah, you can watch CBS Sports HQ for free on the CBS Sports App. That’s the purpose of it, a free all-day sports network.

Golazo just debuted this week. It’s the first free 24/7 streaming network dedicated to soccer.

247Sports is all college and high school football and basketball. Daily FREE shows dedicated to both sports.

All of this content is cut into shorter VOD’s and the company - knock on wood - is making money on it. A lot of media companies are laying people off but Paramount is holding on. I know it may not seem like it but streaming has been top priority for the company.

You can include major TV networks too.

Cartoon Network fell off so hard too

Matter of fact, I remember seeing CBS Sports HQ on Pluto if I'm not mistaken. I always overlook those channels because it seem like some of them are on a day delay or etc.

I'll check for the other two since I need my soccer fix. Does 24/7Sports have high school/College baseball tho


Its like this....I actually wanted to like Paramount+ but find myself getting turned off by the overwhelming amounts of cheaply made content that you can usually see on Tubi. The UEFA coverage is more miss than hit because its not as consistent as how it used to be when Fox had the rights.

But on another note, I actually appreciate the NSWL content when I had + for a bit. Other than that, P+ just suffers from what most streaming services suffer from and that's bait and switch.

For instance: I love Star Trek and actually was binging the shows for a spell. Somehow, the next month the movies are gone and I have to go through another friggin service to get it. Its kinda frustrating because Paramount should be home for Star Trek everything, including the movies.

Anything Viacom related.

Travel Channel

[Hoodoo Child]

USA Network

We could argue they fell off before social media/streaming. Monday Night RAW is the only thing keeping them afloat

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

MTV by far. I was bored late last night and wanted to watch something light before bed. Turned on Boomerang

Thought to myself "I wonder if Ridiculousness is on MTV right now at 3:37 am in the morning?"

Made a 50 million dollar bet with myself that it would be on. It was on. And it was a marathon. After pressing right on the TV guide until I got to the 7am timeslot I gave up

Sports/Wrestling is the only thing keeping cable alive at this point and we know that won't last forever
