This is a network problem, not a content problem.The BTN games are listed and beat the FS1/2 average. lol.
But again the worst games do not matter. What matters are the games on ABC, ESPN, FOX, etc. That's where the P-4 is getting 200k+ for some games and blowing away the Big East.
And when you look at the data the Big East is way behind when it comes to exposure.
There is no path for UConn to have good exposure with 150k watching FS1 and under 50k watching FS2.
Look at the data, it's very clear as to where the Big East is as far as TV exposure and viewers.
Fox paid the Big East to help ramp up FS1/FS2 as a sports destination, and a legitimate ESPN competitor. It hasn't really happened.
BTN has a clear audience and focus. FS* is somewhere between a streaming service and ESPN, and probably closer to the former.
The UConn women's game on ABC (on a football sunday!) is clear evidence of this. OTA>ESPN>FS*>Streaming.
