Good shows like Brooklyn 99 and The Brave are being cancelled even though they have better reviews than shows that got renewed (you may not agree with me that these are good shows but my point still stands). TV networks need to realize that not only with tv shows but also with sports, that streaming services are taking over. They need to incorporate better ways to gauge a show’s/sports event’s ratings that includes streaming and figure out away to make money off it. Currently I feel like most people aren’t sitting down for scheduled TV time slots and are using Hulu and other streaming services so networks aren’t getting accurate ratings. Keeping shitty shows on air and getting rid of shows that do very well on streaming platforms probably wont make networks more money in the long run but probably push viewers away from their network.

The market will adjust itself. Whatever you do, don’t legislate it.

no. b/c the streaming shows don'y the eyeballs of the advertisers target audience. making shit is more profitable.

If the Net Neutrality repeal holds up, streaming might take a really bad hit.

Yeah remember how bad it got for the month it was repealed?

Right, because you see vast economic changes over 30 days. Stay in school.

they almost certainly make less from the streaming services and thus have no incentive to take it into account at all

But Netflix HBO and Hulu have some of the most popular shows and they still make money, and are getting more subscribers when they add new

Shows like Westworld, Hand Maidens Tale, Black Mirror, etc.

reviews dont matter. only advertisers and having an audience they are willing to pay to reach.

Reviews may not matter now, but currently the some of the biggest TV shows are owned by Netflix Hulu HBO

none of those are networks. they are subscription services
wisco97
But you look at recent trends, both in sports and tv and you can see streaming is taking over network. Why dont they try to change their

Business model. It just seems dumb to me
wisco97
It seems like eventually streaming with trump tv networks

Yes it will, and networks that don’t jump on board will be left behind. That said Brooklyn 99 was on Hulu and I loved it. It obviously

wasn’t getting the numbers they wanted (even on streaming services) if it was cancelled. Networks often cancel shows too early (Firefly) but

Brooklyn 99 isn’t a good example. It has several seasons and they wouldn’t cancel it if it made a lot of money. It’s also a bad example
