Ratings for awards shows in general are going down the drain. Why tune in to watch who wins when you can find out online within seconds who wins? All the speeches end up online, all the live performances from the shows end up online. There’s no point in sitting thru parts you don’t want to see just to wait for the parts you don’t want to see.Ratings for last weekend’s woke ESPY Awards crashed to the lowest numbers the show has ever recorded. The ESPYs only earned 482,000 viewers over both ESPN and ESPN2 combined, making it the smallest audience the show has ever reached dating back to its inaugural awards in 1993. The previous low occurred in 2011 when 1.98 million viewers tuned in, according to Sports Media Watch.
